shoff@webslingerZ.comEasy PancakesIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups soy milk or water
(optional: dash of cinnamon)
Directions:This recipe, simple as it is, always gets requested!
Lightly mix all ingredients in a fairly large bowl; leave 5-10 minutes to rise. Its important only to mix the batter enough to moisten, as overmixing will make the pancakes tough. Gently fold down; leave again for 5-10 minutes if you have the time, and gently fold down again. (I don't usually bother, since everyones starving!) Cook medium to medium-high on an oiled skillet till golden, carefully breaking apart any large lumps with the spatula. Serve immediately.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 20-30 mins.
This sounds excellent! I will definately try it.

I made these and they came out REAL heavy. Any suggestions?
Archived comment by: joanne
this is the absolutely best pancake recipee you will ever try (vegan or not). if things turned out too heavy, you're mixing things too much. its hard, but you have to leave it a bit lumpy. i promise, everyone will love these.

these are, HANDS DOWN, the very best pancakes that i have ever tasted. My boyfriend and i have tried tons of yummy recipes, but when made properly, these are out of this world. Its not too hard to do right either, just don't mix too much!

These turned out excellent! I hadn't had pancakes since I turned vegan (about 2 years), was craving them this morning, found the recipe, etc. I used whole wheat pastry flour (what I had on hand) and the result was spectacular. Many kudos!

can anything else like honey or stevia be used in place of the sugar?
Archived comment by: randy
I used date sugar, and it worked fine.

I was very pleased with these cakes. I personalized it alittle bit by substituting 1 1/4 c. ground oatmeal and 1 1/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour for the all purpose flour that it called for. This recipe is wonderful if you food combine and it is going in my permanent files.

These were excellent pancakes. Others I have made are heavy and doughy without eggs, but these were great. I only let them rest twice for 5 minutes. Howe'ver, definitely oil the pan. The first batch, I didn't oil my nonstick pan and that was NOT a good idea!

These were wonderful with apples and a lot of cinamon. They work better for me if I leave them in the fridge over night. They are less lumpy that way.

Good pancakes.

Very good...but WAY too much baking powder...I'd only add one tablespoon next time. Because they rose so high, it was hard for the center sometimes to cook thoroughly...otherwise this is easy and yummy. Its gone in my recipe box. Love that hint of cinnamon!

I love these! If it turns out bad, which it has for me before, just vary the ingredients a little in your next batch and you are sure to come across something great.

Let me just say: BEST PANCAKES EVER!!!! This recipe worked perfectly even though I am notorious for bad, bad burnt on the outside, raw on the inside, flat, nasty pancakes. Everyone should try it.

As a single cook, I fifth-ed the recipe, and also used whole wheat flour (king arthur), added blueberries, and used water instead of the soy milk. After cooking them on the stove, I toasted them in the toaster oven for about two minutes. They came out WONDERFUL. Without a doubt, they were the best pancakes I've made or had elsewhere. Now I know I'll never have to search for another pancake recipe again. I'd recommend to anyone else the addition of berries to the batter, they greatly augmented the final product. I'm looking forward to making them again soon, maybe with the addition of oatmeal or flax seeds (I'm sure they'll turn out great!)

This is a very good basic recipe. I added my favorite granola and some dried cranberries to the mix. I didn't use quite so much baking powder, though. I only used about 1 1/2 tsp and they turned out just fine.

mmm mmmm...delicious! these are far superior to the pancake mixes you buy at the store! they taste soo much better than the ones made w/ milk, dairy, or eggs. topped with some syrup, these were SOO GOOD! i used whole wheat flour instead.

WOW!! Thats all I have to say. But I'm gonna go on because they were AMAZING!! I served them to my brother and his girlfriend as well, both non-vegans, They were amazed at how they tasted so much like regular pancakes. I actually told my brother at first that they had eggs and milk in it, just to see his reaction to them, without thinking that they'd be terrible just because they're vegan. He couldnt believe it when I told him they were actually vegan. He gobbled the rest down like there was no tomorrow! Theyre WONDERFUL! Just a little tip though... When I first saw the batter was all bumpy, my first instincts were to mix until there were no more lumps. I stuck to the recipe though, and left it the way it was. As I was pouring the batter onto the skillet, I couldnt have been more prepared to be eating the worst pancakes ever, I thought it would be almost impossible for all those lumps to dissappear when the pancake was done. Well, I was wrong. They came out perfect, round, just the right shade of golden brown, and just the right flavor of YUMMY. I give this recipe a two thumbs up, and a golden star... Five to be exact. Make this recipe immediately, or you'll really be missing out!!

These pancakes are so easy to make and taste so good!! Makes me wonder why they put eggs in the first place...

Great recipe! I added a little extra sugar, a handful of chopped walnuts, and and a bit of orange extract and they came out wonderfully.

I used almond milk (can't use much soy at all) and coconut oil. To melt the oil I slightly heated the last 1/2 C. milk and mixed the oil with that before adding it. I took the hint to cut the baking powder in half. After the first pancake, I thinned the batter a little, too. The hint of coconut with the cinnamon made a delicious combination. I won't stir as much next time, but they still turned out well. I'll use this recipe again.

Oh my gosh!!! These were sooo yummy!!! I see all these people added and changed the recipe a little, which is the fun of cooking, but this recipe needs no change. I loved how they rose, and if it looked like the center wasn't cooking, I just pressed them down a bit. These were so good, I didn't even use syrup or anything to eat them with. And they weren too heavy or over-filling like the pancakes I remember. Thank you for this delicious recipe!!! I will be making there at least once a week!

Best pancakes ever!!!
Archived comment by: nDvegan85
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PANCAKE EVER! my boyfriend is a pancake addict, although he isn't vegan he made these anyways when i gave him the recipe because he LOVES pancakes and is VERY picky about them. here is what he did: after first mixing the ingredients (just until wet), wait appx. 10 minutes. do this again three more times very lightly (just turn mixture downwards like recipe says). make sure to NOT over mix. altogether, the dough sat for about 40 minutes. he made medium-sized (4 diameter) pancakes that were THICK, FLUFFY, GOLDEN AND OMIGOSH, DE-LISH! we made a full recipes-worth and are freezing the leftovers! THANK U!

These are definately great pancakes... i was even eating the batter cuz it tasted sooo good...lol.. i love being vegan you don't have to worry about eating raw eggs and catching some crazy disease. LOL.

My daughter is a PANCAKE ADDICT and she loves these with vegan chocolate chips, shaped like Mickey Mouse.
Archived comment by: vgriffith
I followed the directions exactly, not mixing very much and letting them rise, and the pancakes still turned out very heavy and didn't have a very good flavor. I think this recipe is better suited for people who like huge, thick pancakes. If you prefer thinner, crepe-style pancakes, this recipe is not for you.

i love these pancakes! i make them every weekend for breakfast! i like them with cup plain soymilk and a cup and a half of vanilla...it gives them a little different flavor but its wonderful!
Archived comment by: vegankat89
These are superior pancakes! I also resisted the urge to mix those lumps out! I was skeptical, then pleasantly surprised! I had been searching for a replacement for box mix pancakes (that my daughter refuses to part with). Weve tried ALOT of recipes... THIS one did the trick! Thank you...to whomever submitted it.:-)
Archived comment by: annie7
This recipe is almost identical to the pancake recipe on the side of the EnerG egg replacer box (adding sugar and switching egg replacer w/ baking powder), which I found I had to add more soymilk to for the right consistency. With that touch, they taste good, but not fabulous, so I will try this recipe and see if it makes a difference!
Archived comment by: vavoomkitty
The recipe as written is pretty good, but I found the batter too thin with the 2 1/12 c. soymilk. I only did 2 c. and substituted buckwheat and soy flour for 1/2 c. of the flour and whole wheat for the other 3/4 c. of flour. I used maple sugar for the sweetener and added some cinnamon and numeg. The third time I made them I also used tofu instead of oil, added more soymild cause then it was too thick...THIS WAS AWSOME. Less fat and they actually came out a wee bit fluffier. I have also added strawberries and used strawberry syrup before and that was great too.

AMAZING. These are SO GOOD. I cooked them in more oil than I should have to get them crispy on the edges... and they were WONDERFUL.

THESE ARE AWESOME! We had breakfast for dinner last nite (pancakes, tofu scramble, hash browns) and both my meat-eating mom and meat-eating best friend said they were delicious. My mom said she was shocked at how light they were and said they were the best pancakes she has ever had. She also said that with all this good food, she just might go vegan (yay!). I took all the wet ingredients and put them in a bowl and then added all the dry ingredients and stirred it just enough to moisten everything. Delicious and I will be making it again.

OMG eggless pancakes!! Either this is the best recipe ever or I haven't had a pancake in a while..lol. I doubled the recipe and only added half of the baking powder. thanks, -lilvoyce

these are excellent! I added 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 small over ripe bananas (mashed in a sep. bowl and folded in) + 1 aditional tbs. of flour and my guests could not get enough of them!!

Excellent pancakes! Super easy indeed! Not beating them totally smooth definitely works, and oiling the pan well makes a huge difference. I really enjoyed them topped with glazed apples (apple chunks sauteed with molasses, margarine/oil, and cinnamon). Fast, simple, delicious - they pleased two omnivores as well as this vegan.

DELISH! i had a craving for chocolate chip pancakes...i quartered the recipe, added vegan chocolate chips...they smelled so good, my sister and mom (both omnivores) appeared out of nowhere and kept asking for bites--needless to say, i had to make another batch! terrific--THANKS!

Everyone in our famly loved this recipe! They tasted just like pancakes that contain eggs and are quick and easy to make.
Archived comment by: amanda25
I always found that my vegan pancakes came out too heavy (or rather, came out ok and then immediately turned heavy), until today, I tried soy sour cream in the batter (3 generous tablespoons per 4-6 pancakes)--not only was the texture of the pancakes close to perfect, but the taste was improved too! Yumm.
Archived comment by: baharu
When I made these I followed the recipe exactly, even adding less than 2 tablespoon of baking powder and the baking powder still overpowered the taste. It left a sour feeling in my stomach. Did anyone else have this trouble? Where did I go wrong? If it wasn't for this, these pancake would've turned out flawless.
Archived comment by: stride4unity
How embarrassing! Forget my question. When I wrote the recipe down, I wrote it down for 1 tablespoon of salt, which affected the taste (3X as much salt!). I'll definitely do try this again. If I didn't tamper with the salt, then these would've turned out delicious.
Archived comment by: stride4unity
I made this a second time and with the correct amount of ingredients and it came out superb! I couldnt even tell they were vegan. If you're looking for a variation, try putting some peanut butter in the batter. it adds a good flavor. I am left to wonder, why did they ever make pancakes with dairy products? thank u!

wow! im an ovo-lacto vegetarian, not vegan, but had no eggs or milk so i tried this recipe and it turned out really well, though i might use a little less sugar next time. i don't think ill ever make these the non-vegan way again.

I snatched this recipe about 10 minutes ago and made some pancakes! A great recipe! Probably the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. They came out a little heavy, but I'm a compulsive about sturing things (I mess up a lot of things that way). Everyone should try this recipe, it rocks! (and its easy for starting out Vegans, like mahself
