Raspberry Pancakes

Last years pancake day was cancelled by Mini Monster picking up stomach bug at pre-school, this year he has temperature… Thought we better start the day with pancakes too, just in case… So far he still seems to have an appetite.

I prefer a thin crêpe style pancakes for pancake day, and we will have those for dinner, child permitting, but this morning I was outvoted and we started the day with thicker Scotch pancakes.

While they were cooking, Mini monster came up with a selection of chocolate based toppings to put on his. Chocolate sprinkles, white chocolate powder and honey, I did draw the line at chocolate sauce too! The sharpness of the raspberry worked well with a slightly sweeter topping, but I like them plain. What I really wanted was a nice thick dollop of yogurt, but forgot to order any…

100g Wheat Free Self Raising Flour (or just normal self raising flour if you don't need wheat free)
1/4tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Egg Replacer (would probably work without if you don't have any, just increase the baking powder to 1/2tsp)
1tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)
200mls Oat Milk (or other milk substitute)
6-8 Frozen Raspberries (crushed while still frozen)

Put dry ingredients in a bowl.

Beat in the lemon juice, oat milk, and vanilla with a balloon whisk or wooden spoon.

Stir in the crushed raspberries.

Place large spoonfuls onto a hot greased frying pan (I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup as a scoop).

Cook for a couple of minutes, or until bubbles bag in to pop on the surface, then flip over.

Continue to cook until lightly browned on the other side.
Put on a plate to cool slightly while you cook the rest (we got 8, but a couple got eaten before we could take a picture).

Top and eat!
