Еggless pancakes recipe

This pancake recipe is a great option for those looking for a delicious and hearty breakfast made without eggs. Using milk, yogurt and butter in the batter creates a soft and tender texture. And the sugar balances out the flavors, making these pancakes sweet but not cloying.

The recipe is versatile, which means you can add whatever toppings you want to the dough. Pieces of fruit, candied fruits, nuts – add as you like, combine and experiment, creating a new breakfast recipe every time.

Also, if desired, the amount of sugar can be halved or eliminated entirely if you plan to eat the pancakes with unsweetened toppings like lightly salted salmon, crispy bacon, crumble, or roasted vegetables.

⏱ Cooking time — 15 minutes overall. Includes 10 minutes of preparation and cooking + 5 minutes unattended.

🥣 Ingredients

🍽 For 8 pancakes:

• 200 ml (¾ cup) of milk
• 100 g (3,5 oz) yogurt
• 40 g (1,4 oz) butter
• 20 g (0,7 oz) sugar
• 180 g (6,3 oz) flour
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• pinch of salt

 🔪 Step by step Directions

Prepare the dough

Measure out 180 g (6,3 oz) of flour, add a pinch of salt, ½ tsp. of baking powder (baking powder), ½ tsp. of baking soda and 20 g (0,7 oz) of sugar. Mix well with a whisk.

Pour in 200 ml (¾ cup) of milk and knead the dough. Add 100 g (3,5 oz) of yogurt and mix until smooth.

Finish preparing the dough

Take a small saucepan, put it on medium heat. Put 40 g (1,4 oz) of butter in the saucepan and melt.

Pour the melted butter into the batter and mix.

Prepare the pancakes

Take a large non-stick frying pan, put it on medium heat and heat it for 2-3 minutes.

You can grease the frying pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil. To do this, moisten a paper towel with oil and wipe the pan with it. This is not necessary for good nonstick pans.

Using a tablespoon or measuring spoon, spoon the batter into the skillet, trying to mold the pancakes into a round shape. You can help yourself with the spoon by adjusting the shape of the batter poured into the pan. I use about 2 tbsp. of batter per 1 pancake.

The diameter of the pan plays an important role here; the bigger the pan, the more convenient and faster the pancakes will be cooked, and the neater they will turn out.

It is important to choose the right heat so that the pancakes have time to fry inside and not to burn at the bottom.

Cook 2 to 3 pankakes at a time. Cook for about 1 minute on one side, until air bubbles appear on the surface and the top of the pankake is dry.

Flip and cook for about 1 minute more on the other side.

Transfer to a plate and cook the rest of the batter.

Serve

Serve pancakes with your favorite toppings: caramel, jams, jam, or unsweetened toppings like lightly salted or smoked salmon, bacon, roasted vegetables, or crumble.
