The story behind the recipe

Pancakes are a traditional dish that has crossed generations, loved all over the world. Whether filled with jam, cheese, or chocolate, pancakes are a symbol of culinary comfort. In this version, we chose to make them vegan, without dairy or eggs, but with the same rich flavors that make us feel at home.

Preparing the pancakes

1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, pour the Joya Natur soy drink. Add the flour and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until you get a smooth batter. If the batter seems too thick, feel free to add a little more soy milk.

2. Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil. Using a ladle, pour a portion of the pancake batter into the skillet, swirling the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges turn golden, then flip it with a spatula and let it cook on the other side.

3. Repeating the process: Repeat the process until you finish all the batter. It is important to constantly check the skillet's temperature to avoid burning the pancakes.

Preparing the filling

1. Mixing the ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam with the cinnamon and lemon juice. This mixture will not only add a delicious taste but also a splash of freshness to the pancakes.

Preparing the vanilla sauce

1. Dissolving the cornstarch: In a container, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold soy milk, mixing well to avoid lumps.

2. Heating the sauce: In a double boiler, add the soy milk mixture with cornstarch, margarine, sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly. The sauce will begin to thicken after a few minutes. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then store it in the fridge until serving.

Assembling the dish

1. Filling the pancakes: Take a pancake and spread it with the apricot jam mixture. Fold it according to your preference – either in half or quarters.

2. Serving: Place the filled pancakes on a platter, pour the vanilla sauce over them, and sprinkle the toasted walnut pieces on top for added crunch.

3. Serving suggestion: These pancakes pair perfectly with a glass of Joya Natur soy milk, which harmoniously complements the sweet delight.

Useful tips

- Fruity variation: If you want to add extra flavor, try adding some slices of banana or fresh peaches to the filling.
- Extra flavoring: You can experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to give an original twist to the vanilla sauce.
- Sauce consistency: If the vanilla sauce is too thick, add a little more soy milk, stirring constantly to combine.
