here's the goddamn pancake recipe.

I don't mean that spitefully, I mean holy jesus I can never find "the good vegan/GF pancake recipe" when I'm looking for it. This is really forgiving, all you really want to do is get the right consistency and the right salt/sweetness ratio. Since there's no eggs in it you can feel free to taste the batter as much as you want to make sure it's right before you start making them.

buckwheat and hazelnut pancakes. 

dry stuff

1 cup / 125 g buckwheat flour
a good pinch of salt, i like to think of this as something around 1/2 tsp
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda

wet stuff

two options here:
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk + 1/2 cup water
OR
1 cup almond, hazelnut, or oat milk
2 tbsp maple or agave or ginger or malt syrup
1 or 2 tbsp grated coconut if you feel like it
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice (i would say use lime if you're using coconut milk, and use lemon otherwise)
1 heaped tbsp hazelnut or almond butter or tahini, preferably soft. if it's not soft enough you can heat it up in your milk first and whisk til it dissolves

2 ripe bananas, cut into eights (optional)

1 or 2 tbsp coconut oil for frying.


Combine your dry stuff in one bowl, stir to combine everything. In another bowl combine your wet stuff. Pour the wet stuff into the dry stuff, whisking as you go, until you have a smooth mixture. If it seems too thick you can add 1 or 2 tbsp of water.

Then, heat your coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat and pour a few tbsp of batter into the pan, optionally dotting your pancake with 4 of those optional banana pieces. Fry on one side until the bubbles appear, this should take 2 minutes tops. Flip, fry the other side for 2 minutes. Serve with date, malt, pear, or maple syrup. And a big pat of butter, mwaahahahaahahahahaha.
