Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 0.25 cup aquafaba
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 pieces fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, aquafaba, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
Place a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven to heat for about 5 minutes.
Once the pan is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and add the vegan butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Ensure every surface is coated to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and immediately return it to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
Slice and serve the pancake directly from the skillet.
