Eggless Pancakes Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup All purpose flour/ plain flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Tbsp Brown or white sugar
- 1/4 or 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- Caramel Sauce (recipe below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a mixing bowl, combine and whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pour milk along with oil and mix gently. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, lightly whisk the mixture and heat an iron skillet. Once very hot, turn off the stove and leave it for 5 minutes. Turn on the flame again and put it in lowest flame. Grease with butter and pour one big ladle full of batter in the center slowly. Just let it be and do not spread. Wait a few seconds until bubbles pop on top of the pancakes. Flip it carefully with a flat metal spatula. Cook the other side for a 30 seconds and transfer to serving plate.
Cooking Notes:
- Iron skillet (Iron dosa pan) works best to get golden brown color and even cooking. You can also cover the pan after flipping the pancake. This will make the pancake even more soft and locked in moisture.
- Avoid heating the pan over high heat, if you don’t want your pancakes to turn dark brown in color. You can just preheat the pan, and switched off for a while to bring the temperature down. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will curl in the edge like a flower. So make sure to keep the heat at lowest.
- Use a big ladle to get a uniform size and shape pancakes.
- If you want to use whole wheat flour, you may need to experiment with the milk volume as it may take more.
- You can add cinnamon or vanilla essence to make it more flavorful.You can make this same with non dairy milk and make it vegan.
- Serve hot with generous butter on top and drizzle with honey. You can try other sauces like caramel, butterscotch or even maple syrup. It smells divine! It stays soft even after it cools.Soft, spongy, fluffy to handle, you would definitely love it!
- You can use Buttermilk instead of milk, the pancake will be white in color. Or if there is no buttermilk, just add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the batter to make it white in color.
Servings: 6 pancakes
