Okay, so I’ve been trying to nail down a simple pancake recipe, but without using eggs. It’s a bit of a challenge, but I’m not giving up! I started this little project a couple of days ago, you know, just messing around in the kitchen.
First off, I gathered all the usual suspects for pancakes – flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and some oil. I figured, why not start with the basics, right? I mixed the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ones in another. Pretty standard stuff.
Then, I combined the wet and dry ingredients. I was careful not to overmix, just until everything was kinda combined. The batter looked a bit different than usual – not as smooth, a bit thicker, I guess because there were no eggs to bind it all together.
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Oil
Next, I heated up my trusty non-stick pan over medium heat and added a tiny bit of oil. I poured about a quarter cup of batter for each pancake. I noticed they didn’t spread as much as regular pancakes, so I kinda had to help them along with the back of the spoon.
I cooked them for a few minutes on each side, waiting for those little bubbles to appear before flipping. They turned out a bit denser than I’m used to, and honestly, not as fluffy. I guess eggs really do make a difference in the texture department. No doubt about it.
But hey, they weren’t bad! I topped them with some syrup and fruit, and they were actually pretty tasty. It’s just that they were more like…thick, slightly chewy discs rather than fluffy clouds. More moisture or adding two eggs might make it more tender and fluffy.
What I learned
So, here’s the thing – making pancakes without eggs is totally doable, but don’t expect them to be exactly like the ones made with eggs. It’s a different ball game, and that’s okay! I’m gonna keep experimenting with this. Maybe try adding some mashed banana or applesauce for extra moisture and flavor. Who knows, I might just stumble upon the perfect eggless pancake recipe eventually! This eggless pancake is perfect for vegan diets or egg allergies, and the cuisine is American Breakfast style. I will continue to try it!
