Description

This Air Fryer Pancakes recipe offers a quick and easy way to make fluffy, delicious pancakes using your air fryer. Made with simple ingredients including soy milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute, these pancakes are light, slightly sweet, and perfect for a simple breakfast or brunch. The air fryer method ensures a perfectly cooked pancake with a golden exterior and soft inside without needing a stovetop or griddle.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups soy milk
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or substitute with lemon juice)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Additional

  • Vegetable oil or butter (to grease the cake tin)
  • Ice cream (for serving)
  • Strawberries (for serving)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the buttermilk substitute: In a mixing jug, combine the soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir well and leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to thicken and curdle, mimicking buttermilk.
  2. Sift dry ingredients: Sift the plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution and remove lumps.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the rested buttermilk substitute into the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and the batter to thicken slightly.
  4. Prepare the cake tin: Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake tin with vegetable oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour approximately one quarter of the batter into the greased cake tin to form one large pancake. Place the tin inside the air fryer and cook at 350°F (180°C) for 8 minutes or until the pancake is lightly golden on top and cooked through in the center.
  6. Repeat and serve: Carefully remove the pancake from the tin and set aside. Grease the tin again and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked. Serve warm with ice cream, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, or toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • You can substitute soy milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk as preferred.
  • Resting the batter is crucial to achieve fluffy pancakes as it allows the baking powder to activate fully.
  • If your air fryer basket is wider or smaller, adjust the batter quantity and cooking time accordingly.
  • Ensure the cake tin fits inside your air fryer before starting.
  • For a vegan option, verify that your sugar and other toppings are vegan-friendly.
