These fluffy pancakes are perfect for those who are lactose intolerant or simply out of milk. They are easy to make and deliciously satisfying!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup water (or non-dairy milk alternative, if preferred)
- 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, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the water, 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 allows the baking powder to activate and will result in fluffier pancakes.
Step 4: Preheat the Pan
While the batter is resting, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, 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 no-milk pancakes are sure to be a hit at breakfast or brunch. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings and share with family and friends!
