Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups milk or sub with dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar or sub with maple syrup or honey
  • bags earl grey tea or sub with 2 teaspoon of loose leaf tea
  • 1 large egg
  • tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Optional Icing:

  • 13.5 fl oz coconut milk full fat canned kind (refrigerated the night before)
  • 1.5 tablespoon icing sugar
  • 1-2 drops blue food coloring

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  • In a small pot set on high heat, add milk and tea leaves. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer on low-medium heat until the milk is brown. Run the liquid through a strainer to remove the leaves. Let this cool.
  • In a separate large bowl, mix wet ingredients. Then pour wet ingredient into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Lightly grease a large pan with vegetable oil and paper towels and bring to medium heat.
  • Pour ⅓ cup of pancake batter. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side or flip until you see many bubbles form all over the pancake. You can serve these with maple syrup or try my coconut icing below.

Optional Icing:

  • The night before, refrigerate whole fat canned coconut milk at the back of the fridge so it's extra cold.
  • Open the canned coconut milk. Scoop ½ cup of the white solidified part of the coconut milk (do not use the liquids). This is your coconut cream.
  • In a large bowl, add coconut cream, icing sugar and blue food coloring. Beat everything together with an electric hand mixer until it's whipped. Serve with pancakes.
