Pancakes are one of the most universally beloved foods in the world. They can be enjoyed with savory or sweet fillings and are easy to make quickly for lots of people. Here is a recipe for vegan pancakes that will still pack a punch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup of almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  4. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  5. Serve your delicious vegan pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan whipped cream.

You know, that buttery, flaky base that can make or break your favorite pie. If the thought of making one from scratch sends you running to the frozen aisle of your supermarket, this is for you. Homemade pie crust doesn’t have to be a battle. It’s all about understanding a few key principles. Let’s jump in.

Keep Everything Cold

The first secret is all about temperature control. Keep your ingredients, especially the fat (be it butter, shortening, or lard). The reason? When cold pieces of fat melt in the oven, they release steam, creating those coveted flaky layers. 

Don’t Overwork the Dough

When you mix flour with water, gluten begins to form. Gluten is great for bread, but not so much for pie crusts. The key is to mix just until the dough comes together. It’s okay if it looks a bit shaggy or crumbly. That’s actually a good sign. 

Let the Dough Rest

Once mixed, the pie dough needs a good rest in the refrigerator. This rest period allows the gluten strands that have formed to relax, which in turn helps prevent shrinkage when baked. Additionally, this chilling time helps the fat solidify again, contributing to the flakiness of the crust. Aim for at least 30 minutes.

Basque cheesecake is a great showstopper of a cake to bring out at birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. It’s a bit less rich than New York-style cheesecake, and it goes perfectly with some fresh berries on the side. It also pairs nicely with a small glass of sherry, as the dry, crumbly richness of the cake complements the syrupy sweetness of the drink very well. However you choose to serve it, this Basque cheesecake recipe never fails, so you don’t have to worry about split sides or an undercooked middle.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
  • 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup of soured cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 460 °F.
  2. Grease and line a deep 10-inch cake tin. Use plenty of parchment paper, it needs to come up and over the sides of the tin.
  3. Use a food mixer to whisk together the soft cheese and the sugar. Test it by rubbing a small amount between your fingers, if it feels grainy it needs more whisking.
  4. Add the flour, soured cream, eggs, and vanilla to the cream cheese mix. Mix by hand until it is smooth in consistency.
  5. Pour the mix into the cake tin. Tap the bottom of the cake tin with a wooden spoon to release any air bubbles.
  6. Bake the cake for 30 minutes, then leave it to cool and chill for 1 hour before serving.

You know, that buttery, flaky base that can make or break your favorite pie. If the thought of making one from scratch sends you running to the frozen aisle of your supermarket, this is for you. Homemade pie crust doesn’t have to be a battle. It’s all about understanding a few key principles. Let’s jump in.

Keep Everything Cold

The first secret is all about temperature control. Keep your ingredients, especially the fat (be it butter, shortening, or lard). The reason? When cold pieces of fat melt in the oven, they release steam, creating those coveted flaky layers. 

Don’t Overwork the Dough

When you mix flour with water, gluten begins to form. Gluten is great for bread, but not so much for pie crusts. The key is to mix just until the dough comes together. It’s okay if it looks a bit shaggy or crumbly. That’s actually a good sign. 

Let the Dough Rest

Once mixed, the pie dough needs a good rest in the refrigerator. This rest period allows the gluten strands that have formed to relax, which in turn helps prevent shrinkage when baked. Additionally, this chilling time helps the fat solidify again, contributing to the flakiness of the crust. Aim for at least 30 minutes.

Basque cheesecake is a great showstopper of a cake to bring out at birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. It’s a bit less rich than New York-style cheesecake, and it goes perfectly with some fresh berries on the side. It also pairs nicely with a small glass of sherry, as the dry, crumbly richness of the cake complements the syrupy sweetness of the drink very well. However you choose to serve it, this Basque cheesecake recipe never fails, so you don’t have to worry about split sides or an undercooked middle.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
  • 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup of soured cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 460 °F.
  2. Grease and line a deep 10-inch cake tin. Use plenty of parchment paper, it needs to come up and over the sides of the tin.
  3. Use a food mixer to whisk together the soft cheese and the sugar. Test it by rubbing a small amount between your fingers, if it feels grainy it needs more whisking.
  4. Add the flour, soured cream, eggs, and vanilla to the cream cheese mix. Mix by hand until it is smooth in consistency.
  5. Pour the mix into the cake tin. Tap the bottom of the cake tin with a wooden spoon to release any air bubbles.
  6. Bake the cake for 30 minutes, then leave it to cool and chill for 1 hour before serving.
