FAQs
Can I substitute regular milk for vanilla soy milk?
Yes, you can use regular milk instead, but the vanilla soy milk adds a subtle vanilla flavor that enhances the pancakes. You might want to add a bit more vanilla extract if using plain milk.
How do I prevent pancakes from sticking to the pan?
Make sure your skillet is properly greased before cooking and heated to medium temperature. Using a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet also helps prevent sticking.

- 3 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Caster Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Vanilla Soy Milk
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and caster sugar. This ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents and sweetness for consistent pancake texture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla soy milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined for a smooth, aromatic batter base.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or whisk just until all ingredients are moistened and combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
