A wonderful Mother's Day present!

Well it is Mother's Day, and that means I get to have what I want for breakfast: PANCAKES! But not just any old pancakes, Jamie Oliver's One Cup pancakes. (Told you I like Jamie Oliver!) These pancakes are so easy to make: 1 egg, 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 cup milk and a pinch of salt.

"But what about the Vegan Carnivore?", I hear you say. Do we make his special non-dairy and no egg pancakes? Well, no! Today is a special day. Today we finally get to do a baked egg challenge! So we will use one egg and some oat milk, and fry in oil and see how it goes....

And......

He was ok!!! Hip hip hooray!!!! We can bake with eggs now!!!!

Don't worry, I'll still write about living with no eggs and occasionally bake no egg recipes. I still have lots of friends who have egg allergies. Plus, that's only baked egg. We aren't up to whole eggs yet....

Egg- and Dairy-free Pancakes

Vegan Carnivore's dear auntie made pancakes on Christmas day, but they weren't ones that he could eat. So I thought we should try making some egg-free and dairy-free pancakes for him. They were a real hit, even with the Carnivore's dad, who said they were just like "real" pancakes :)

Egg-free and Dairy-free Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup Plain Flour
1/2 teaspoon Bi-carb Soda (Baking Soda)
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 cup Soy Milk (or other cow milk substitute)
1.5 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Method
1. Sift flour and baking soda/powder and salt.
2. Add sugar.
3. Add Oil and half the soy milk. Whisk together.
4. Gradually add the rest of the soy milk until thick pouring consistency. If it's too thick, add more. (I did, but I'm not sure how much extra I added)
5. Heat Frying pan – needs to be reasonably hot. I used vegetable oil. Oil/spray for each pancake – they do stick otherwise.

Edit (24/3/2012): The other week we tried this, but I forgot to read the instructions and dumped everything in the bowl together. Don't worry, it still works!
