Gluten Free Vegan English Pancake Recipe
Pancake day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the day that precedes Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. I remember when I first moved to the UK and started college, one of the girls in my maths class asked me what I was giving up for Lent. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about! “Chocolate” she said, “I’m giving up chocolate for 40 days!”.
I haven’t heard anyone mention giving up anything for Lent since! Pancake day, however; I hear plenty about every single year! It’s become an excuse for us to celebrate and enjoy the awesomeness of the humble pancake! What used to be the thing to do to use up ones eggs, milk and sugar before a period of fasting has now been taken up by consumerism. We now go out of our way TO BUY ingredients for pancake day! It’s funny how things change!
If you’re thinking of making pancakes but wish to leave out animal products, try this gluten free vegan English pancake recipe instead. Using gluten-free flour, flax egg instead of a regular egg and unsweetened almond milk.

I used to go off something every year for Lent but I’m very bad these days! These pancakes look beautiful!
Every day should be pancake day 😉 I love how beautifully thin and light these are! It’s dinnertime right now…but I think I should make it a “brinner” kinda day 😉
Love the idea of pancake day! These pancakes look perfect! So fresh and delicious!
Stunning! Absolutely stunning! I need these in my life!
I’m a sucker for a vegan pancake and these look fab. Your photos are beautiful, too.
Pancake day idea sounds awesome, Nadia. These look so perfectly crafted and love those blueberries! So YUM!
Look at those beauties! Another fantastic recipe Nadia!
Wow Nadia! These pancakes are stunning! They look absolutely perfect. Such a delicious recipe! Happy pancake day <3
I am going to try and make every day pancake day haha.
These look delicious! I want pancakes again now.
They are so paper thin and those crispy edges and GLUTEN FREE!?! I’m amazed here, I didn’t know it was possible to get this sort of perfect crepe-like texture without gluten or eggs. These look amazing! And yeah the whole fasting to consumerism thing is good and bad. Good because I don’t like the whole restriction mentality anyways, but bad because more consumerism ha! Ah well, can’t change the world so I’ll just eat pancakes 😀
OMG! These look so so good–just like beautifully folded crepes! I have to give this a try!
