These delightful pancakes are perfect for those who are avoiding milk and baking powder. They are simple to make and require just a few basic ingredients. Enjoy them for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of the day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup water (or non-dairy milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until well blended. This will ensure that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the water (or non-dairy milk alternative), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the pancakes become fluffier.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to coat the surface. Allow the oil to heat for a minute.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
These fluffy pancakes are a delicious and easy breakfast option that everyone will love, even without milk and baking powder!
