- Add the melted butter, almond milk mixture and lemon extract to the bowl and whisk to combine. Batter should be mostly smooth.2 tbsp melted vegan butter, 1 tsp lemon extract
- Let the batter rest for 6-7 minutes- this is important! Don't skip this step!
- After about 3 minutes, heat a non-stick pan on the stove over medium heat.
- Once the batter has rested, it should appear airy and fluffy when stirred.
- Now that the batter is ready, prepare to make the pancakes. Add a dollop of vegan butter to the pan to line the bottom.
- Use a ⅓ measuring cup to scoop out the mix and transfer it to the pan.
- Once the pancake begins to bubble (refer to photos above), flip the pancake over and allow cooking until lightly browned (1-2 minutes).
- Repeat until all batter has been cooked, applying a dollop of vegan butter at the start of cooking each pancake to ensure crispy edges.
