Vegan Racuchy (Polish Apple Pancakes)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Apples, peeled and diced
• As needed Vegetable oil, for frying
• As needed Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a gel.
2. 2In a large bowl, add the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of plant-based milk, the thickened flaxseed mixture, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth.
3. 3Gently fold the 2 medium diced apples into the batter.
4. 4Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
6. 6Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and puffed up. You will see them turn golden and they will sound slightly crisp.
7. 7Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
8. 8Dust the warm pancakes generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
