Base draft — original amounts
The original draft batch is shown here for comparison; no public structured data is emitted. Base yield: 8 pancakes.
1/4 cup aquafaba *can sub with 1/4 cup soy milk
just under 1 cup soy milk plain unsweetened
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup strawberries chopped
vegan butter to grease the griddle
Instructions
Whip the aquafaba until foamy (don't need to form peaks, just foam). Add the vinegar to just under 1 cup of soy milk and allow it to curdle for a minute.
Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl (including aquafaba and soymilk+vinegar). Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl.
Heat an electric griddle to 350° Fahrenheit.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together until smooth. Gently stir in the strawberries. Batter will be thick!
Fry on the griddle greased with vegan butter. Flip when bubbles on the surface of the batter have popped open and dried. Fry the reverse side for about a minute.
Notes
What If I don't have aquafaba? What can I use instead? You can replace the aquafaba with an equal amount of soy milk. I have made it with and without aquafaba, and I prefer the keeping the aquafaba in because it makes the pancakes fluffier. But you CAN make them without.
