Equipment

large mixing bowl
hand whisk (non electric) or spatula
non-stick frying pan

Ingredients

310 g self-raising flour can be replaced with plain flour and 1tsp of baking powder
3 tablespoon caster sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda levelled
110 g vegetable margarine melted and cooled down
500 g soya yoghurt (480 ml) room temperature
3 - 4 tablespoon oat milk room temperature
1 tablespoon oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

The soya yoghurt and milk need to be at room temperature; the margarine melted and cooled down.
Sift and combine the dry ingredients (flour, bicarb soda, salt and sugar).
Gently fold the wet ingredients (soya yoghurt, milk and melted butter) into the dry mix, just about to bring them together.
Tip: The batter doesn't have to be smooth. It is ok if it looks clumpy with a few specks of flour in the mixture. It's better that way than over-mixing and knocking the air pockets out.
If the batter is too thick for your liking, fold in a splash of milk.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, and once it reaches the desired temperature, smear with butter or oil and scoop the pancake mixture gently onto the pan.
Cook on medium heat until the edges of the pancake start setting, then flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.
Tip: If the pancakes are browning too fast, adjust the temperature. Flipping them too early will knock some air bubbles from the batter and make the pancakes less fluffy. It can also result in pancakes being still raw in the middle.
Repeat the process using up all the pancake batter.
Enjoy warm pancakes with your favourite toppings! Options include maple syrup, vegan chocolate spread, fresh berries, or plant-based yoghurt or cream. The choice is yours!
