Start your morning with these light and airy dairy-free pancakes that don't compromise on flavor or texture. This simple recipe uses plant-based milk to create a smooth batter that results in perfectly golden, tender pancakes every time.
Sift the plain flour into a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center. Crack the egg into the well and pour in approximately one-quarter of the dairy-free milk.
Using a balloon whisk or an electric hand mixer, whisk the center ingredients together, gradually incorporating the flour until a thick, smooth paste forms.
Slowly whisk in another quarter of the milk until the mixture is lump-free, then stir in the remaining milk until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, ensuring your pancakes are tender rather than chewy. Give the batter a final quick stir before cooking.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a light splash of oil. Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the center and swirl it quickly to coat the base in a thin, even layer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and small bubbles appear on the surface. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the pan as needed. Keep the finished pancakes warm between sheets of baking parchment or serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
For the best results, ensure your pan is fully preheated before the first pancake hits the surface. If you find the batter has thickened too much after resting, simply whisk in an extra tablespoon of milk. These pancakes pair perfectly with fresh berries, maple syrup, or even savory dairy-free spreads.
