Making Pancakes Without Butter
Pancakes are a beloved breakfast and brunch staple, but if you’re looking to cut down on dairy or are simply all out of butter, you may be wondering how to make pancakes without it. The good news is that you can still make delicious pancakes without butter!Ingredients You’ll Need
The base of pancakes without butter includes the same ingredients you’d use for pancakes with butter. You’ll need 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ¾ teaspoon of baking soda, ¾ teaspoon of salt, 1 – 1 ¼ cups of milk (soy, almond, or coconut milk all work great), 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 egg.Instructions for Making Pancakes
Start by mixing together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. This includes the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. This includes the milk, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar has mostly dissolved. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until it’s all combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is totally normal. If the batter is too thick, add more milk until it’s the desired consistency. Heat a pan over medium heat and grease it with a thin layer of oil. Once the pan is hot, pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the pan. Cook until the edges of the pancake appear to be cooked, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until it’s golden brown.Serving Tips
If you’re looking to add a little extra flavor to the pancakes, try stirring some blueberries into the pancake batter before cooking. You can also top the pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, a tablespoon of nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.Try Adding Other Substitutes
If you don’t want to use milk, yogurt or applesauce can be great substitutes. If you’d like to make the pancakes even fluffier, try adding an extra tablespoon of vinegar or baking powder.Conclusion
Making pancakes without butter is easy and just as delicious as the buttery version! With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a tasty breakfast that’s sure to please. Try experimenting with different substitutions and toppings to find your favorite pancake combination.
