Big Fluffy Pancakes on Tuesdays

Pancake Tuesday is coming up soon.
 
Sunday brunch is a tradition in our family, almost as much as Friday pizza nights. Our children are now nearly grown up, so they are not often at home on weekends, but when they are, we often have a late breakfast on Sunday that is a type of lunch. We would have sausages ( vegan of course ), fried potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, even baked beans, and if someone was in the market on Saturday, we might have olives or butter beans or any number of treats.
 
On this Sunday, our daughter, Emma, decided to make pancakes. As she helps with the Hungry Soul business, she chose to use so Hungry Soul to make them … what a great idea! I had never thought of that, and we love fluffy pancakes especially with pools of maple syrup.
 
Her idea was to make a type of ‘buttermilk’ with our Natural vegan cheese. The fermented sour cashew milk worked very well.

Makes 6 large pancakes
 
INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup of Hungry Soul ‘buttermilk’ - made by mixing two tablespoons of Hungry Soul - Natural with enough water to make up a cup of liquid
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp melted vegan butter

 
METHOD 

1. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl and mix to combine
2. Add the hungry soul buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter
3. ⁠Mix slowly with a wooden spoon, do this gently, just combing the wet and dry ingredients - it is okay if there are lumps, but do not overmix
4. Heat a pan on medium heat, cooking 2 at a time, about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake. 2 mins on the first side, flip when bubbles start to form and the sides begin to look cooked. Approx. 1 minute on the next side.
5. ⁠Optional: add fruit like raspberries, blueberries, sliced banana to the pancake just after you pour it on the hot pan.
6. - ⁠Keep the pancakes on a plate in the oven on low heat (50C) until you have finished them all and are ready to serve!
7. ⁠Serve with lots of maple syrup, and if you wish, more fresh fruit, melted chocolate, vegan butter and cinnamon sugar - the choice is yours!

 
P.S. I say Pancake Tuesdays ( the plural is no accident ) why not have pancakes every Tuesday 😊
