Cookbook:Pancakes (Vegan)

Ingredients

 * 1 cup flour
 * 2 teaspoons baking powder
 * 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 1 cup soy milk
 * vegetable oil

Procedure

 * 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.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * 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.

Variations

 * Banana pancakes: add one well mashed banana to the batter.
 * Chocolate pancakes: add ½ cup chocolate chips to the batter.
 * Walnut pancakes: add ½ cup roughly chopped walnuts to the batter.
 * Cranberry pancakes: add ½ cup dried cranberries to the batter.
