How to Make Vegan Cornmeal Pancakes

  1. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup polenta, ½ cup cornflour, ½ cup spelt flour (or gluten-free blend), ¼ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups sparkling water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Add more sparkling water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. If the batter is too thin, gently stir in 1-2 tablespoons of additional flour until it thickens.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Continue cooking until all batter is used.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! We recommend trying them with vegan cheese and jam for a unique sweet and savory experience!
  9. Enjoy!
