LOL! At least you gave it a shot. My DIL is a vegan and make delicious pancakes all the time which taste exactly like everyday pancakes.

Polenta is a world of it's own and does not go with pancakes!! ;D ;D

Yeah I'm not sure what went wrong there as they didn't turn out like the video. No hemp seeds in the video either but the recipes are often slightly different in the video than what is written. I've had success with many of her other recipes though.

We are not vegan except at certain times of year due to religious reasons. I would love your DIL's recipe though if she is willing to share and any other great vegan recipes she has....building up a collection and always up for something new.

From my
It's Nigella Lawsons recipe from her book domestic goddess. Here is the recipe:

225 g plain flour
1 Tbs baking powder
Pinch salt
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbs yoghurt
30 g butter melted and cooled
300 ml milk
Butter for frying

Whizz it all in TMX and away you go, actually it is good to let rest for 20 mins.
Note from Nigella : " when you cook pancakes, all you need to remember is that when the upper side is blistering and bubbling its time to cook the second side, and this needs only about 1 minute.
🚩I like to add vanilla if they are sweet ones.

I saw your separate post on this as well Gert but unfortunately as others have said, it's definitely not vegan....just doesn't have egg.

I think the banana pancakes I tried are pretty good and close to regular pancakes.
