pancake with chocolate spread bananas, maple syrup & lemon juice

Drop Scones, Scotch Pancakes, Griddle Cakes, American Style Pancakes etc

This is so easy, as to hardly qualify as a recipe - it really is bish bash bosh - you put the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the plant based milk, whisk and cook. What could be easier?
This is for 16, but there's a copyable chart for different numbers of pancakes to suit your needs.

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 set of digital scales
  • 1 hand or electric whisk
  • 1 square griddle pan
  • 1 silcon brush
  • 1 55ml serving spoon (approx)
  • 1 spice grinder only needed if you're adding the flax seeds.

Ingredients
  

  • 55 g buckwheat flour
  • 170 g Self raising wholemeal flour
  • 9 g finely ground chia seed OR 6g egg replacer
  • 5 g baking powder
  • 472 g plant based milk or your choice.
  • Pinch of salt.

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spoon or whisk
  • Then add the plant based milk, and whisk well until no unincorporated flour/dry ingredients remain.
  • Leave to stand while you heat the griddle pan (square is best) for cooking them.
    ladling the mixture
  • At the same time, place a large oblong pyrex or similar dish in the oven with a tea towel folded in half in the dish – set the oven to around 70/80°C
  • Put the griddle pan on a medium heat.
  • Use a silicon brush to oil the pan – pour a little oil in the pan first and spread it with the brush.
  • Use a larger size serving spoon that holds roughly 60 to 65ml/gram of liquid.
  • Put four spoons of mixture – one in the centre of each corner of the pan.

  • Wait until there are plenty of bubbles forming on the surface of the drop scones, but whilst the surface is still wet,
    bubbles coming to the surface - ready to turn over
  • quickly turn them over and cook the other side for around 20-30 seconds.

  • Place them one on top of the other so you have a stack of four....

  • Place them in the oven between the folded tea-towel – this keeps them moist and warm.

  • Put another dribble of oil in the pan and spread with the brush and repeat until all the mixture is used.
