Vegan Pancakes

serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 cups self-rising flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon custard powder
• 2 cups soy milk (some say that adding about 1/2 cup more makes ‘em even tastier)Directions:
  

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and custard powder. Mix in the soy milk with a whisk so there are no lumps.
2. Heat a griddle over medium heat, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon batter onto the surface, and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip with a spatula and cook on the other side until golden.   DIG IN!!

Beer Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup beer (if out of beer, try root beer!)
• 2 tablespoons butter, meltedDirections:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the egg, beer and melted butter; stir with a whisk just until blended – a few lumps are okay (we don’t discriminate against lumps here).
2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. When bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, flip, and cook until browned on the other side.  Enjoy!!(recipe thanks to chubbylittletoro and photo thanks to phebec from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Beer-Pancak…)
