Thin crepe style pancakes ! Depending on what beer you choose to use, it can taste very different. Basically take the blond beer that you like the flavour of, and make sure it’s vegan, you can check for vegan beer on Barnivores websites here.
To balance the beer, the blackberries are a great topping, sweet and slightly acidic, the maple sweetens it as well and to add another element of flavour, the orange blossom petals gives the perfect flowery aftertaste, but thats optional.
Makes about 10 pancakes
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 330 ml vegan friendly blond beer (11.15 oz)
- 330 ml water
- 5 dl white organic flour (2 cups)
- 1.2 dl rolled oats (½ cup)
- 0.6 dl granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- 60 ml neutral tasting vegetable oil (1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 5 teaspoons or so vegan butter / margarine for the pan
Toppings
- 300g fresh blackberries (10.6 oz)
- Maple syrup
- Dried orange flower petals
What you will need
- 1 big bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- 1 pan + 1 spatula
Instructions
- Pour the beer and water into a bowl. Add the sugar, it will froth like crazy, so just whisk it gently.
- Add in the chia seeds, vanilla sugar, oil and rolled oats. Whisk gently and rest for a few minutes, the beer will soak the oats and seeds.
- Add in the flour and whisk well. Let the batter rest for at 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the pan, so it very hot on medium to high heat, keep this temperature steady. Take about ½ teaspoon of vegan butter / margarine on the pan and grease it evenly. I use a 28 cm / 11 inch diameter pan, and it makes 10 pancakes.
- Pour the pancake batter onto the pan so it fills about half the pan, then straight away lift the pan and turn your wrist to make the batter fill out the pan completely, shaking the pan gently.
- Let the batter bake for about 1½ – 2 minutes, or until the edges start to brown like pictured. Then flip the pancake with a spatula. Bake on the other side for about 1½ – 2 minutes, or until it looks like pictured.
- Put the pancakes on a plate and prepare for a new pancake with another ½ teaspoon of vegan butter / margarine. It’s important to grease the pan in between every pancake, as it make it easier to flip and also makes it crispy. Repeat steps until all pancake batter is used.
- Eat the pancakes straight away when hot and crisp. Add fresh blackberries, maple syrup and orange flower petals.
Enjoy !
