Gluten Free Vegan English Pancake Recipe (2024)

Gluten Free Vegan English Pancake Recipe

Pancake day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the day that precedes Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. I remember when I first moved to the UK and startedcollege, one of the girls in my maths class asked me what I was giving up for Lent. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about! “Chocolate” she said, “I’m giving up chocolate for 40 days!”.

I haven’t heard anyone mention giving up anything for Lent since! Pancake day, however; I hear plenty about every single year! It’s become an excuse for us to celebrateand enjoy the awesomeness of the humblepancake! What used to be the thing to doto use up oneseggs, milk and sugar before a period of fasting has now been taken up by consumerism. We now go out of our wayTO BUYingredients for pancake day! It’s funny how things change!

If you’re thinking of making pancakes butwish to leave out animal products, try this gluten free vegan English pancake recipe instead. Using gluten-free flour, flax egg instead of a regular egg and unsweetened almond milk.

Stir in the milk, oil and flaxseed egg.
Mix everything well. You should end up with a thin, pancake batter.
Heat some coconut oil in a frying pan on a medium/high heat.
Pour in about 1/2 cup of the batter for each pancakes. Cook for a a couple of minutes, until you can see bubbles forming on top, flip and cook for a further minute on the other side.

Every day should be pancake day 😉 I love how beautifully thin and light these are! It’s dinnertime right now…but I think I should make it a “brinner” kinda day 😉

They are so paper thin and those crispy edges and GLUTEN FREE!?! I’m amazed here, I didn’t know it was possible to get this sort of perfect crepe-like texture without gluten or eggs. These look amazing! And yeah the whole fasting to consumerism thing is good and bad. Good because I don’t like the whole restriction mentality anyways, but bad because more consumerism ha! Ah well, can’t change the world so I’ll just eat pancakes 😀
