Dairy-Free Chilean Panqueques (Pancakes) with Manjar Substitute

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 large Eggs
• 1 cup Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Date-based manjar substitute
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (berries, banana)

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl, measure and combine the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly until they are evenly mixed.
2. 2In a separate medium-sized bowl, crack the 1 large egg. Add the 1 cup of plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are well combined.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain; avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes tough.
4. 4Place a griddle or a large frying pan on the stovetop and heat it over medium heat, aiming for a surface temperature of approximately 325°F (160°C). Allow the pan to heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until it is consistently warm.
5. 5Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each individual pancake, leaving some space between them. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
6. 6Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through in the center. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
7. 7Transfer the cooked pancakes to individual plates. Serve immediately with the 1/2 cup of date-based manjar substitute and the 1 cup of fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced banana.
