These delightful pancakes are light and fluffy, made without baking powder or butter. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, they are easy to whip up and can be customized with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the skillet
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 3: 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 using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts into the batter before cooking.
- If you prefer thinner pancakes, you can add a little more milk to the batter until you reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy your delicious, fluffy pancakes without baking powder and butter!
