Best Pancake Recipe Ever – Eggless Pancakes

Eggless Pancakes

Eggless pancakes happen to be a favorite evening snack or mid morning snack for Nehal. Today is a school holiday due to the bandh called for by the Seemandhra leaders on the Telangana decision. Surprisingly, he gets very hungry during holidays and I dont know where this hunger comes from inspite of having a filling breakfast. He did not want to eat any of the munchies like Murukku or Chegodi which were very much within his reach. He wanted something warm and freshly made! With no bread at home to make him a sandwich, I decided on making the best pancake recipe that I ever tried. Eggless pancakes!

Method for making Eggless Pancakes ~ Best Pancake Recipe

Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl. Do not over mix, its fine if you find a few small lumps. Ensure that there aren't large lumps of flour. Leave aside the batter for 5 mts.
Heat an iron skillet or a non stick pan and allow to heat for 30 to 40 seconds on low to medium flame. Reduce flame to low and pour a large ladle full of batter in the center of pan. Do not spread the batter. Allow it to spread on its own.
Cook the pancake on low medium flame for half a mt and you will see that bubbles appear over the pancake. When the pancake turns a nice golden shade flip it over and cook for half a mt and remove to a plate.
Prepare pancakes with the rest of the batter.
Serve warm topped with butter and honey or any sauce of your choice like maple syrup or caramel sauce.

Tips

There is no need to grease the skillet when you add the pancake batter. Ensure that the skillet is not too hot otherwise the pancake will attain a dark shade. We are looking at a nice golden shade which is best attained with medium heat.

For a healthier option, add 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup wheat flour. Increase the quantity of milk by 1/3 to 1/2 cup if using whole wheat flour.
