Dairy-Free Classic Pancakes

Recipe Description

You asked for Dairy-Free Classic Pancakes so here is my take on a classic pancake recipe, but dairy free! For these pancakes I usually use unsweetened plain almond milk or another non-dairy milk. You won’t even notice the difference!

My top tip when making pancakes is to sift well to ensure the flour is aerated and to minimize large lumps. Sifting also helps combine the dry ingredients evenly. Overmixing the batter to remove lumps will result in dense and chewy pancakes instead of light fluffy ones.

To make Dairy-Free Classic Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
