These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast for two. Made without milk, they are simple to whip up and deliciously satisfying!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup water (adjust for desired batter consistency)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose 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. Add the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using) to the egg, and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
-
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. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.
-
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. 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 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 your delicious, fluffy no-milk pancakes!
