The day before Lent in the UK is traditionally known as Pancake Day—yummers! It's a way to use up all your rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before fasting for 40 days. In many cultures this also means no meat either! I've already given up all animal products (for more than 40 days!), so I'm just using this day as an excuse to make pancakes for the hell of it!
If you want to make your own dairy and egg free pancakes, check out my simple steps below!
What you will need:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of "No Egg" (or equivalent) mixed with water, as directed on the packet
1 cup soya milk (or try rice or oat milk)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Set out your ingredients and combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, and then add the soya milk (or rice milk in my case!) and vegetable oil to the mixture. Warm a pan up with a little bit of cooking oil whilst whisking up the mixture. Spoon one pancake's worth of mixture into the pan. Once there are bubbles in the middle of the pancake, or the edges have stiffened—flip it over to cook the other side. I'm not the greatest flipper in the world, so I cheated and used a spatula (still managed to break it!).
I also decided to put some currants in my mixture. All that's left to do is add your favourite topping (and eat it of course!). Mine is usually sugar and lemon ... but I went with some syrup—yum!! Check me with my vegan goodness:
Are you going to make vegan pancakes? And most importantly, what topping will you use?!

As this is a recipe from the UK, how about posting the recipe ingredients in UK measurements too so we can all enjoy vegan pancakes!
Posted by: Little_Lotte at February 24, 2009 11:03 AMI've made these before! They are sooo good! I like mine with pure maple syrup and fresh berries.
Posted by: Kelly at February 24, 2009 11:43 AMYes!!! It's National Pancake Day (free pancakes at IHOP to support Children's Miracle Network) so this is more than appropriate!
Posted by: Sarah Townsend at February 24, 2009 12:43 PMI made them :) plain old honey and sugar one the 1st! Then vegan chocolate spread on the 2nd! & peanut butter and sugar the 3rd, which is a must to try! nyom nyom nyom
Posted by: Imogen at February 24, 2009 3:10 PMJust to clarify to anyone who is wondering: As far as we're aware, none of the pancakes at IHOP are vegan.
Posted by: Marta at February 24, 2009 3:13 PMSounds good - happy pancake day! :)
Also, a cup is just a teacup, right? As in a little over half a mug, roughly? Easy enough for anyone (UK or not!) - thanks!!
Betty Crocker Bisquick [vegan] mix with egg replacer and soy milk make for the best pancakes! They taste so good that non-vegan's cook them too. For a little extra zing, just add blueberries, chocolate chips, peach slices, mashed bananas + chopped walnuts, applesauce + cinnamon, and any other tasty combinations.
Posted by: Elizabeth at February 24, 2009 3:53 PM*sigh* This only strenghted my determination to one day move to Littleton, New Hampshire where they make the best waffle batter ever with an historic grist mill.
Posted by: Pepsi One is Fun at February 24, 2009 6:28 PMhehe my pancakes always turning out looking like they escaped from hell...but they taste good :)
Posted by: cody at February 24, 2009 7:57 PMYes but I am not a vegan.
Posted by: LIlli Lackner at February 24, 2009 9:15 PMA cup in the UK is about a half a mug.
Sorry for those of you in the UK - I have so many cook books that use cups that I invested in a set to make my baking life a little easier :)
I used the half a mug = half a cup measurement and they turned out quite well.
I ate the first one with lemon and sugar, and the second one with syrup :op
