Simple Vegan PancakesMarch 17, 2017
P A N C A K E S . . . are about patience! Patience while your heating up the pan, patience while you wait to flip sides, patience while you make the next lot! These are vegan so are made without eggs… Meaning patience is so important because they’re less likely to stick together! My tips are to make sure your pan is scorching before you pour the batter on, wait until it bubbles first side and test out the edge, if it isn’t ready- don’t force it! Give it another min. Use a huge pan and only do 2-3 at a time. Layer the fresh ones on top of the earlier ones to keep warm. This is an easy recipe that is sure to convert any clean-eating, vegan skeptic! The perfect Sunday treat.
