Actually Delicious Vegan Pancakes To Make For Pancake Day

Just because you're vegandoesn't mean Pancake Day's got to be a total write off for you. TBH, you're not actually even missing that much - those old egg, milk, butter and flour numbers really aren't all that and (in our humble opinion) are probably just being rolled out for traditions' sake these days. I mean lemon and sugar on a wrap? What even is that?

Instead, treat your flatmates to a far superior vegan treat for Pancake Day from bloggers (and winners of the Great Vegan Bake Off), sisters Wrapped In Newspaper. Sure these pancakes might *technically *fall more under the definition of 'American style pancakes' rather than the floppy British ones but trust us on this, they're going to taste a whole lot better.
