I have an embarrassing confession to make… until just a short while ago, I couldn’t make vegan pancakes. Almost every time I tried, the batter would come out sticky, undercooked, burned, gummy, thick, or thin. Sometimes all of the above at once. One attempt after another, one disaster after another. <\/p>\n

I had these terrible dreams that I would someday be on a cooking game show, crushing the competition and moving through the challenges until I reached the final round. The announcer would say, “and for the grand prize, Andrew, all you have to do is… cook a simple pancake!” My face would fill with dread and I’d shout “NOOOOOO” as I ran out of the kitchen. <\/p>\n

I mean, this isn’t completely my fault. Making light, fluffy, delicious vegan pancakes with only real ingredients is really hard<\/em>. They say that the mark of a good chef is the ability to cook an egg perfectly. It’s a simple thing that requires so much skill to get right. In the world of vegan cooking, I think pancakes are the true test; if you can get them right, you can cook anything. <\/p>\n

Recently I decided to conquer this problem. I read books on baking, I studied the science of how gluten reacts in batter, I practiced, failed, and practiced some more. Ultimately I realized that cooking vegan pancakes is easy<\/strong> once you know the proper technique. Honestly, much of what clicked for me came after reading this article by America’s Test Kitchen, Secrets to Perfect Pancakes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When everything finally came together, it was totally worth the struggle. These are by far the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever tasted. They’re simple, sweet, light, fluffy, and just a little tart from the “buttermilk” we add. If you’ve ever struggled with pancakes, definitely give this recipe \/ tutorial a shot. <\/p>\n
