In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of non-dairy spread or coconut oil to coat the surface lightly.
Pour or ladle approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Carefully flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more non-dairy spread or coconut oil as needed.
Serve the dairy-free Scotch pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of non-dairy yogurt.
