For the pancake batter
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon caster sugar
- 425 ml almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 g non-dairy butter
- Oil for cooking
For the garnish
- 2 blood oranges peel removed and cut into slices
- 4 tablespoon caster sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar.
In a separate jug, mix the almond milk, vanilla extract and melted butter.
Slowly pour these wet ingredients into the flour, first to create a paste and then adding slowly to make a smooth, thin batter.
Once all of the ingredients are combined mix well to ensure the batter is completely smooth and to create little air bubbles.
Brush your pan with a little oil and then heat on a medium heat.
Hold your hand a few centimetres away from the pan to see if it is hot. Once you can feel the heat, pour over some of the batter and swirl it around the pan until you have a thin circle.
Cook until the underside is golden underneath then flip it to cook it on the other side.
Serve immediately with the slices of blood orange and a sprinkling of caster sugar.
