Pancakes

This recipe is for Scotch pancakes, which are smaller and thicker... like American-style pancakes rather than crepes. I do have a recipe for crepes somewhere too, so I'll post that at some point.

For about 8 pancakes:

125g plain flour
1tbsp soy flour
1tbsp caster sugar
1 ½tsp baking powder
250ml soy milk

1. Sift the flour, soy flour and baking powder together in a large bowl

2. Stir in the sugar

3. Make a well in the middle and gradually beat in the milk. Whisk all ingredients together for a few minutes until they are well mixed. The batter should be thick enough not to spread too much when dropped in the pan, as this way the pancakes will stay thicker and rise nicely.

4. Leave the batter to stand for about 10 mins (some people swear this works, others say it doesn't make a blind bit of difference, so depending on your opinion, this stage is optional!)

5. Grease a small, non-stick frying pan with a little vegan margarine or vegetable oil and heat over a low heat until smoking slightly.

6. Using a ladle, gently pour a small amount of batter into the pan. Once the pancake has bubbled and set, flip so that the other side cooks.

7. Serve with whatever takes your fancy. I've had these with raspberries and maple syrup, which is lovely. Bananas also work well, and vegan ice cream could be added for a bit of a treat :)
