Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter or oil for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, combine the almond milk with apple cider vinegar and stir. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to allow it to curdle slightly, creating a buttermilk-like effect.
Step 3
Add vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture, and mix well.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, gently combine the mixtures until you have a smooth batter. Avoid over-mixing as this can result in tougher pancakes.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with vegan butter or oil.
Step 6
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the Vegan Scotch Pancakes hot, with your choice of maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite vegan toppings.
