🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need (Serves 4)

- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt

🔪 Preparing the Batter
First, add semolina, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl.
Then, whisk well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Next, pour in plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
Afterward, mix gently until a smooth, pourable batter forms.
Finally, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes, allowing the semolina to soften.

Once rested, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Then, pour a ladle of batter onto the pan and spread gently.
After that, cook until bubbles appear on the surface.
Next, flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Repeat until all batter is used.
