Pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries - vegan

Versiunea in limba romana: Clatite cu sirop de artar si afine - vegane/de post

I started searching for the perfect vegan pancakes. The first try had really tasty pancakes as a result, but not really photo stuff, a little too sticky and difficult to keep their shape. The second recipe I tried recommended to use a lot of bubbly water, but the taste was not what I expected and they were to sticky to even try a second bite. The third try is the one in the picture. A success with the kids, a beautiful shape, easy to prepare and tasty. We loved to serve it with maple syrup and blueberries, but I'm sure some vegan chocolate cream would also be perfect. This is a recipe I found on vegan yum yum and I adapted it just a little.

The search for the perfect vegan pancake continues. I'll keep you posted. Have a beautiful winter day!

400 - 440 ml soy milk
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp oil
160 g all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
finely grated zest of one orange

Mix well all ingredients, including any solids that might get stack on the bottom of the bowl. Use the batter right away or refrigerate it to use it in the morning. If over night it becomes too sticky, mix it with a little water until you obtain the consistency you like. Heat a non stick pan, then pour one tablespoon of batter for each pancake. Once you see bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, turn it; once it becomes golden, remove it from the pan. Stack the pancakes high, like a castle, in oder to keep it warm. Serve immediately with mapple syrup and blueberries. 

Enjoy!

Delicious apple pancakes

It's been a while since we prepared our Sunday morning pancakes.  We could not give up our family tradition so easily, so Sunday we played "pancakes". I made our favorite American pancakes batter and enriched it with delicious spicy sugar flavored apples. We eat the yumminess with butter and maple syrup. A dream <3

American pancakes

3 big eggs, separated egg yolks and egg whites  + 115 g flour, sieved + 1 tsp baking powder + 3 x 125g Greek yogurt + a pinch of salt
 

For spiced sugar apples
3 apples, sliced in rounds  + spiced sugar (brown sugar mixed with cinnamon, cloves, allspice, vanilla, etc and kept in an air tight container) + 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
To serve: butter & maple syrup or mascarpone cream cheese
Beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt until you obtain a firm cream. In another bowl mix the flour, egg yolks and yogurt, until you get a smooth cream. Heat the pancake pan, brush a slice of apple with the melted butter and spread it with spiced sugar and put the apple slice in the pan.

After 45-60 seconds, turn the apples on the other side and pour the batter for one pancake. When you see bubbles  appear through the batter, then it is time to carefully turn the pancake on the other side. When the pancake is golden colored, then transfer it to the plate.

Repeat the steps for every pancake.

Delicious with butter & maple syrup or with mascarpone cream cheese.
