Vegetarian Pancakes with Soy Milk and Water

If you're a vegetarian, you're going to love these pancakes! They come out light and low in calories, made entirely from plant-based ingredients that pair together beautifully. I first tried these low-calorie, plant-based pancakes from a store — some plain, some filled with seasoned soy crumbles. Later, friends made them for me, and the flavor was just amazing, so I took the recipe home and have been perfecting it ever since.

  • To make these amazing vegetarian, plant-based pancakes with soy milk and water, you just need to know a couple of tricks. First: practice, practice, and more practice. Second: thin the soy milk with water — you can even add a splash of sparkling mineral water. Third: let the batter rest for a couple of hours. I usually start by blending the oil, water, soy milk, salt, sugar, baking soda, and vinegar together — I use a Magic Bullet, which comes with a large cup that's perfect for this. Then I add the flour and blend again. I aim for a batter about the consistency of thick kefir; as it rests it thickens further, so it's worth blending it once more before cooking, thinning with a little oil, water, or soy milk if needed. Cook them in a pan the usual way. I grease the pan for the first pancake. Getting the consistency right takes a little intuition so the pancakes lift cleanly — batter that's too thin gives you pancakes that can tear as you flip them. If the batter comes out very thick and you want some variety, I purée a fresh apple, stir it in, and make apple pancakes — just watch the consistency, since apples add a lot of moisture. If the pancakes come out a little bland, I braise some cabbage and use it as a filling. A huge thank-you to my friend Alexander (an artist, a cook, and just a great guy) for this handy recipe. We serve his relatives our pancakes, and they're a hit. Pure delight.
