Ingredients
 
 

  • 400 ml milk I use oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice or white wine vinegar
  • 250 g wholemeal flour or use plain flour
  • 50 g buckwheat flour if you don’t have any you can use an extra 50g of plain or wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1-2 teaspoon ground ginger depending on taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Sunflower oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Measure 400ml milk into a jug. Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, mix and leave to rest.
  • Add 250g wholemeal flour, 50g buckwheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Slowly pour in the milk mixture whisking as you go.
  • Once combined leave to rest for five minutes.
  • Heat a little sunflower oil in a frying pan. Get your pan nice and hot and then reduce the heat to medium low.
  • Spoon in some of your pancake batter* and cook for around 2-3 minutes until one side is cooked. Carefully flip over and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes. Don’t have your heat too high or your pancakes will burn on the outside before the inside is cooked.
  • Keep warm in a low oven and repeat with the rest of the batter, adding a little extra oil if needed - I spread mine around with a silicone pastry brush so I don’t use too much.
  • Serve warm with your favourite fruit compote, maple syrup and chopped nuts or seeds.

Notes

  1. If your pan is big enough you can cook two or three pancakes at once but be sure to leave enough space between them to allow you to turn them over.
  2. Nutritional information is approximate and is intended as a guide only.
