Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the spelt flour and baking powder to ensure there are no lumps and the ingredients are well combined.
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with oil to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated surface. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding a small amount of oil to the pan between each pancake.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite vegan toppings.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting the spelt flour and baking powder helps to aerate the mixture, resulting in lighter pancakes. It also ensures that there are no lumps in your batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the batter is smooth. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to a fluffier pancake.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes gives the flour time to absorb the liquid, which can enhance the texture of your pancakes.
- Perfect Cooking Temperature: Make sure your skillet is at medium heat before adding the batter. If it’s too hot, the pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Use a Measuring Cup: For uniform pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet. This ensures even cooking and consistent sizes.
- Experiment with Toppings: Serve your pancakes with a variety of toppings such as fresh fruits, vegan yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter to add extra flavor and nutrition.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
