Pancakes (vegan)

By klgettins

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pasty flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup nondairy milk
• 2 tablespoons melted nondairy butter or safflower oil (or any vegetable oil)
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup or freshly squeezed orange juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the milk, oil (or butter) and sweetener.

Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix just until moistened; a few lumps are okay. Over-mixing makes for tough pancakes.

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium -high heat (I set mine at 325 degrees).

Pour the batter onto the heated griddle, about a 1/4 cup each. Add any berries, chocolate chips or nuts to each pancake at this point. Cook the pancakes for a couple of minutes until bubbles appear on the surface. Slide a spatula under the pancake and flip it over. Cook the pancakes on the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
