Eggless Pancake Recipe | Whole Wheat Pancakes

In a mixing bowl first take whole wheat flour. If the wheat flour is ground in a mill, then do sift the flour once or twice before using.

Add salt. Skip adding salt if using salted butter.

Add sugar. You can even add 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or skip it entirely.

Add baking powder and ground cinnamon.

With a wired whisk mix all the dry ingredients very well. Set aside.

Take 1.5 cups milk in a saucepan. Keep the pan on a low to medium-low flame and begin to heat milk. You can also use almond milk or soy milk.

When the milk is becoming hot do stir occasionally. Do not boil the milk but let it only become hot. You should see some steam coming from the milk.

When the milk becomes hot, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. You can also use oil instead of butter. Use a neutral flavored oil.

Mix the butter in the hot milk very well.

Then add this mixture to the dry ingredients in the bowl. With a wired whisk mix very well.

Break lumps with whisk and make a smooth batter. A few tiny lumps are alright in the batter. 

The pancake batter is of a pourable consistency and not thick. If the batter looks thick, then you can add ¼ to ⅓ cup more of hot milk. Depending on quality and texture of whole wheat flour more milk can be added.

Set the pancake batter aside.

Then heat a well seasoned heavy skillet or frying pan. Spread ½ to 1 teaspoon softened unsalted butter or oil on the pan.

With a ladle gently pour the batter. Do not spread the batter with the ladle. The batter spreads on its own. You can even use a ¼ to ⅓ measuring cup to pour the pancake batter.

On a medium-low heat cook the pancake.

Cook it till you see bubbles forming on the surface of the egg free pancake.

When the base looks crispy and golden, gently turn over the whole wheat pancake.

Cook the second side also till golden. Then remove eggless pancake and serve.

You can even stack these eggless pancakes in a casserole or roti basket and then serve warm. Make remaining pancakes in batches this way.

To speed up the cooking of pancakes, you can opt to use a large frying pan or use two skillets or frying pans.

Serve these fluffy eggless pancakes with fresh fruits or jam or whipped cream or maple syrup or honey or chocolate syrup.
