👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder with the salt.

  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened soy milk, flax egg and margarine.

  3. 3
    Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined: small lumps are fine.
    💡Overmixing develops gluten, and the pancakes come out tough and flat. Mix only until no dry flour remains.
  4. 4
    Heat a pan over medium heat and grease lightly.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  5. 5
    Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear on the surface, flip and cook 1 more minute.

    💡Bubbles that pop and don't close up are the sign to flip: the bottom is golden and the batter has set.
