Vegan Pancakes

Ingredients for Pancakes:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup soy milk
• vegetable oil

Method:

1. Mix all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix soy milk into the dry ingredients.
3. Heat a griddle until water sprinkled on it quickly evaporates. Spread a thin film of oil on the griddle.
4. Pour pancake batter on griddle to form 4- to 5-inch circles. Bubbles should start forming.
5. When the underside is light brown, flip the pancake.
6. When the other side is light brown, serve.

Variations:

• Banana pancakes: add one well mashed banana to the batter.
• Chocolate pancakes: add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter.
• Walnut pancakes: add 1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts to the batter.
• Cranberry pancakes: add 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the batter.

Any of the above ingredients can be mixed together.

Notes:

• Don't over mix! Over mixing will produce gluten; this will inhibit rising and make the pancakes rubbery.
• Optionally, you can serve your pancakes with syrup or jam.
• Substituting rice milk for soy milk may make the pancakes fall apart more easily.
