In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, combine the almond milk with apple cider vinegar and stir. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to allow it to curdle slightly, creating a buttermilk-like effect.
Add vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture, and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, gently combine the mixtures until you have a smooth batter. Avoid over-mixing as this can result in tougher pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with vegan butter or oil.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the Vegan Scotch Pancakes hot, with your choice of maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite vegan toppings.
