1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon sunflower oil
Vegan butter for frying
A selection of soft berries - frozen or fresh. e.g raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherries
Mix the flour, baking powder, bicarb and sugar in a large bowl, then whisk in the vanilla, milk and oil until you have a thick, smooth batter Put the berries in a small pan over a low heat and cook until they collapse a little Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add a knob of butter, let it melt, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the batter to the pan to make a small, round pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface then gently flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes. Both sides should be golden in colour Transfer to a warm oven to keep warm and repeat until all the batter is cooked Serve the stack of pancakes with the cooked berries and perhaps a little dairy free yogurt
