I spent the weekend in Vienna once again (it has become my second home) and it once again were unforgettable days. I love the city, love the people, love the food. Ok, the first time we went for lunch out was a bit of a joke because it took us some fourty minutes to find a restaurant that wasn’t closed due to holiday (although it wasn’t even a holiday that day!). But the salad I ate in the restaurant we ended up in was very good. In the evening we cooked this risotto and made some “Apfelstrudel”, an Austrian speciality. (Terrible combination of countries, but who cares?).
The next day we went to a nice, cozy, restaurant and stayed there for half the day. I’m thinking of starting to also blog about good restaurants I went to. There are so many good places nobody knows about. Why not spread the word? I can start right away: Restaurant Daniel, Vienna. I ate the pita falafel and it was delicious. Just in case you’re interested.
So now to my actual post: Unlike normal people in this world, I tend to make pancakes as dessert or even for dinner. Don’t ask me why. It has become a habit over the years, and I don’t have any intentions to change it. Pancakes are just so good as dessert. You can eat them with whatever you find in your kitchen and they are not a lot of work. My favourite is maple syrup! You can also put bananas (they will taste like the bananas you get in Chinese restaurants, just slightly healthier) or blueberries in the batter. There are so many options. Be creative!
Makes about 15 mini pancakes
- 120 g spelt flour (1 cup)
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 200 ml soy milk (1 cup)
- 4 tbsp rapeseed or corn oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
In a bowl, mix the flour, corn starch, salt and sugar. Add the milk, stirring. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Add the oil and the baking powder.
In a non-sticking pan, pour small portions of batter into it and bake on medium-high heat, until they have a nice brown colour. Flip them over and bake until they are brown on the other side.
If you want to put bananas or blueberries in it, you can either sprinkle the pancake with the fruit before flipping it over or mix the fruit into the dough.
Wonderful time! Focaccia that turned out a bit too hard which led to everyone calling it “pizza stones”, good falafel burger and delicious homemade ice tea!

why adding corn starch (it’s so unhealthy), try without and you won’t see any difference.
I guess you’re right. I wanted to try that out and see if they get any fluffier, but as I don’t know how they would have become without the corn starch, I can’t tell you if I achieved my aim. You probably won’t see any difference without it, I agree…
friend I love pancakes, but help me, do u know something about low fat flour?… I used to buy some but they are not so good as the original flour. What can we find for people that needs low fat flour but great taste?
I have never heard something of low-fat flour. Maybe you mean gluten-free flour? I usually use all-purpose flour, that’s why I can’t help you, I’m afraid.
I used to to volunteer chef for a social service agency and always forgot to eat until all that was left were plain pancakes. I rolled them up and ate them without syrup. After a while, I preferred them that way! It’s great to have a vegan resource like yours!
They look perfect.
I love pancakes, when I do them my family is so happy :D

Looks so yummy I had to share with my readers :)
that looks so good! They remind me of the poffertjes from the Netherlands, and I loved that I could have them any time of the day :)
BTW I made the avocado couscous salad, and my boyfriend loved it! He said it was my best meal so far :) thanks for the great recipes! Im a big fan :)
Mmm, all that syrup makes this look delightful! And the plate is so beautiful, too. Im dreaming of going to Vienna some day. I spent quite a long time in Europe a couple years ago but never made it up there! Now I have to go back I guess ;)
I love pancakes for supper! It’s a toss up for me, really, between pancackes and waffles, but I will make either any time of day I feel like having them. Great post and a simple, easy, fun recipe. :-)
they look fabulous, I like your photos too xxx
