I developed this recipe for a Hoe Down at Farm Sanctuary’s Animal Acres a few years back. We served it up with vegan tofurky sausage baked beans, cole slaw, and chilled watermelon salad.

Add the lemon juice/vinegar to the milk, stir well, and allow to sour for at least five minutes. Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the potato/pumpkin, water and oil to the soured milk and slowly stir into the dry mixture.Pour the batter into the prepared 9″ pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. When done, the top should have cracks, and a toothpick stuck in the center should come out clean.
