Description
Light, airy, and deliciously golden, these eggless pancakes are the perfect morning treat—fluffy inside with a slightly crisp edge, ready to soak up all your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1½ cups – provides structure and the base of the batter
- Baking Powder: 2½ teaspoons – gives rise and fluffiness
- Granulated Sugar: 2 tablespoons – adds just the right hint of sweetness
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon – enhances all the flavors
- Milk: 1¼ cups – moistens the batter and binds it together
- Vinegar: 1 tablespoon – acts as a substitute for eggs, creating tenderness
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – adds warm, aromatic depth
- Unsalted Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons – adds richness and flavor
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix milk, vinegar, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Make sure your pan is hot but not smoking. A drop of water should sizzle and evaporate on contact.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Do not spread the batter.
- Cook to Perfection: Let the pancake cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 1–2 minutes).
- Finishing Touches: Stack ’em high, add a pat of butter, and drizzle with warm maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while still warm. Pair with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for a touch of luxury.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter—a few lumps help create a lighter texture.
- Resting the batter for 5–10 minutes allows baking powder to fully activate.
- Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the rest.
- Use a non-stick pan for even cooking and a golden crust.
