Step 01

To make the pancakes

Split the vanilla pod and carefully remove the beans.

Step 02

Put the milk in a bowl and spoil it with the apple vinegar to make buttermilk.

Step 03

Add the vanilla seeds, then the baking powder.

Step 04

Mix all the dry ingredients in another bowl.

Step 05

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, using a whisk or a stand mixer, until well incorporated and let rest, covered with a towel, for 10-15min. When there are bubbles showing in the batter it's good to use.

Step 06

Heat some seed oil in a pan, take a ladleful of batter, drop it into the pan and make sure it covers the bottom.

Top tip: at this point you can drop in blueberries, sliced bananas, nuts or peanut butter. Scatter them over the batter and then cover with another ladleful to trap them inside the pancake.
