Signature Recipe: Dom Hammond's Vegan-Friendly Pancakes

Bali-based vegan chef, Dom Hammond shares her recipe for cloud-like pancakes in this week’s Signature Recipe.

“I can’t go past fluffy pancakes on a menu. I’ve developed a simple fluffy pancake recipe that is vegan friendly – something everyone can enjoy! When I create recipes I tend to go to those nostalgic dishes I had growing up as a kid. Fluffy pancakes with the family was always a Sunday dish, where mum would cook up a towering stack with an array of toppings. We’d sit around, reflect on the past week and eat together. Creating this recipe was not only fun but reminded me of how simple dishes can be easily made plant based!” – Dom Hammond, Head Chef at Tanaman, Desa Potato Head Bali.

INGREDIENTS 

100gr all-purpose flour
15g gula
5gr baking powder
2gr baking soda
2gr salt
5gr apple cider vinegar
2gr vanilla essence
175gr soy milk

METHOD

Add your dry ingredients into a bowl.

In a separate bowl add your apple cider vinegar, soymilk, and vanilla essence into a bowl. This is now your wet batter.

In your dry ingredients bowl, create a small well in the centre, gently pour in your wet ingredients, and whisk with your dry ingredients.

Once your mix resembles a nice smooth batter, you are ready to start your pancakes.

Heat your non-stick pan and add a scoop of your batter.

Fry until bubbly and golden and flip your cakes.

Once you’ve created a decent stack of pancakes, serve them hot and cover them with your favourite toppings. I love a simple splash of maple syrup and some plant-based butter.

CHEF’S TIPS

This batter can be made the night before – if you feel a bit lazy when you wake up then make a pre-batch.

You can make this recipe gluten free by substituting the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour – I would recommend buckwheat or banana flour.

Be creative with your toppings and have fun. Fuel your cravings!
