I always think my pancakes are like pikelets because they are small and thick - the ones I made had applesauce instead of the egg so am not sure how different these are to yours - maybe I need to try some plain ones again (though I think I have done so before).Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46188377425729507692012-10-24T21:06:00.912+11:002012-10-24T21:06:00.912+11:00Thanks Kelly - I have Vegan with a Vengeance so wi...Thanks Kelly - I have Vegan with a Vengeance so will check out their recipeJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-1678988644807581012012-10-24T21:05:03.784+11:002012-10-24T21:05:03.784+11:00Thanks Chele - I think when we don't have brea...Thanks Chele - I think when we don't have bread on a weekend pancakes are an easy quick fixJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49691939712634788562012-10-23T02:48:52.592+11:002012-10-23T02:48:52.592+11:00Growing up, we never had maple syrup either.

Re: vegan pancakes, I'm like you--I don't enjoy them unless they are very cakelike and dry inside, so almost all my pancakes are made to turn out that way. May I humbly suggest my Fluffy Fruited pancakes? The Carob-date ones are also cakelike inside. But I'd say yours actually look very fluffy! Love the lemon juice trick, too-will have to try that with coconut sugar. :)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-4074060581190764512012-10-22T11:23:41.644+11:002012-10-22T11:23:41.644+11:00What a wonderful weekend Johanna - and I can see w...What a wonderful weekend Johanna - and I can see why no extravagant dinners were wanted, after such busy days! I really like the sound of your pancakes and you've made me realise that despite making pikelets quite often, I haven't played around much with vegan pancakes. I have found that baking with apple sauce sometimes makes things a bit too soft, so I wonder if that is part of the difference in texture? ( I also quite like that texture, but agree it is different.)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17528790561378918172012-10-22T10:43:27.615+11:002012-10-22T10:43:27.615+11:00I just use 2 tbsp of cornstarch/arrowroot mixed wi...I just use 2 tbsp of cornstarch/arrowroot mixed with 2tbsp of water to replace each egg in a standard pikelet or pancake recipe. I also make sure to add a dash of vinegar to my soymilk to replicate buttermilk, which with the acidity helps the baking powder to do its work. My pancakes cook up easily and fluffy and I can't tell the difference to the regular ones. I don't have banana in mine though, just plain so they would be less moist.

It's a bit like that in Tasmania when you are a vegan ;). Good old Billy Brag...I dare say he narrowly missed a few episodes in prison and would DEFINATELY be one of those talked about behind the hand people back in the 70's. I don't make pancakes much but do make pikelets. You just skip the egg completely and add a bit of applesauce or mashed banana or something else like that to give it moisture and they work just fine. Try them :) I love reading your Melbourne posts. The son and heir now lives in Melbourne and it makes the distance between the mainland and we Taswegians seem a lot smaller. I am with Sylvia by the way...there is NOTHING better than an amazingly well cooked chip :)narf7noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17833831404339789962012-10-22T02:28:28.953+11:002012-10-22T02:28:28.953+11:00Y'know, most of my pancakes are a bit soft on ...Y'know, most of my pancakes are a bit soft on the inside too - it's hard to get them to cook through without burning on top.
