These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, and they require no milk! With simple ingredients you likely already have at home, you can whip up a delicious stack in no time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 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
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the water (or non-dairy milk), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
-
Heat the Pan:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
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.
-
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 warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts into the batter before cooking.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the amount of water slightly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, fluffy no-milk pancakes!
