5 TIPS FOR PERFECT VEGAN PANCAKES
- Whisk or blend your batter until lovely and smooth.
- Keep a decent gap around your pancake batter when you spoon it into the pan. This means they won’t run into each other, and will stay nice and round.
- When frying your pancakes, wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping. This means the heat has spread through the middle of your batter.Flaxseed forms a paste when it is mixed with water, and it’s this that gives body to your pancake mix. Make sure you allow the mix to thicken fully by leaving aside for a few minutes.
- We use a fish slice to flip our pancakes to make sure they don’t split or tear when we flip them.
- Keep your pancakes warm while you make more by keeping them in the oven (or air fryer!) on a very low heat until you’re ready to tuck in.
