Pancake help

[detached9]

I've checked through the memories here as well as various recipes for making vegan pancakes (How it All Vegan and Egg Replacer), but I can never get them to turn out right... unless they're all supposed to have gooey insides and have gross textures. When I wasn't vegan, I never had problems making pancakes right. Hopefully there's a way to make

Putting a lid on the pan you are using, and keeping your pancakes in an oven to keep warm both result in soggy pancakes.
Burning them - well, duh. Of course that won't work.
The best way to cook pancakes is to cook an entire serving's worth all at once, which means you are kinda screwed if you don't have the right equipment (griddle or a flat-top grill).

There are a few recipes in the memories of this community, but all the one I've tried have come out very dense, and haven't puffed up much. The buttermilk flavor has been impossible for me to make. I've been making vanilla flavored pancakes mostly.

ps. I re-read your post, and "I've even made sure I cooked them long enough by burning both sides" made me think maybe you just aren't cooking them right. They should be on medium heat, you should flip them after the edges start to look gummy and air bubbles are bursting, but before the middle gets that same gummy look to it. Cook the other side very briefly, but longer if your pancakes are especially wide or thick.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

I've read about putting them in an oven afterwards from How it All Vegan (Kramer). I've read about putting a lid on top from someone in this community. I never used to do those ways, but after failed attempts at making vegan pancakes, I thought there must be some trick to it.

You're right, I'm likely cooking them wrong.
