Eggless pancake recipe, soft & fluffy with step by step pictures, easy to prepare home made pancakes.
Two weeks back I happened to taste Hot cakes from Mc Donald’s. It was the first time I ever tasted a pancake. As I had no idea pancakes are made mainly with eggs just like a cake, I got a doubt if it had egg in it, the very instance I tasted my first bite. Since Aj didn’t eat, I had to eat some. So some how had two out of three. Though I didn’t love it, I liked the soft, spongy and fluffy texture of it. But after few days, I got craving to have pancakes and searched for eggless pancakes recipe. And found one here.
Simple and easy enough recipe to try, with simple ingredients available. So here is the recipe for you all. This is mainly kid’s favourite. Do try for your kids when they come back hungry from school, they will enjoy for sure! And if you are just like me, ever never tasted a pancake before, this is just our maida dosa, but with some differences in taste and texture, do not hesitate to try! This recipe works well with wheat flour as well… My mom and MIL makes it both with maida and wheat flour and it tastes great. We always make pancakes without egg. Turns out very good and soft.
Eggless Pancake recipe, soft & fluffy
Equipments (Amazon Affiliate links)
- Cast iron griddle
Ingredients
- All purpose flour/ plain flour – 1 cup Maida
- Milk – 1 cup
- Brown or white sugar – 1 tbsp
- Salt – 1/2 tsp
- Oil – 1 tbsp
- Baking powder – 1 tbsp
- Butter and honey – For topping
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with the whisk.
- Add milk along with oil and mix gently. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes again give it a mix.
- Heat an iron skillet (dosa pan) until it gets hot. Switch off the stove and leave it for 5 minutes. Again switch on the flame and put it in medium flame.
- Grease with butter and pour one big laddle full of batter carefully. Do not spread.
- Wait until bubbles pop over the pancakes and the colour changes and flip carefully.
- Cook the other side for a minute and transfer to serving plate.
Notes
- Iron skillet (Iron dosa pan) works best to get golden brown colour and even cooking.
- If you want you can cover and cook after flipping, this makes it even more soft and locks the moisture.
- If you heat the pan really hot and make the pancake immediately, the pancakes turn dark brown in colour. That’s why I have heated the pan and switched off for a while to bring the temperature medium. ( I saw this in a video in you tube)
- If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will have edges like flower. that is it wont be a perfect circle. So make sure to keep the heat medium.
- Use a big ladle (or a 1/4 cup), so that for all the pancakes, you use only one and so all of them would be on same size.
- You can use whole wheat flour as well, but 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 diary milk and make it VEGAN by avoiding butter and honey.
Eggless pancake Method:
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with the whisk. Add milk along with oil and mix gently. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes again give it a mix and heat an iron skillet (dosa pan) until it gets hot. Switch off the stove and leave it for 5 minutes. Again switch on the flame and put it in medium flame. Grease with butter and pour one big laddle full of batter carefully. Do not spread.
- Wait until bubbles pop over the pancakes and the colour changes and flip carefully. Cook the other side for a minute and transfer to serving plate.
Serve hot with generous butter topped and honey or your favorite sauces like caramel, butterscotch or even maple syrup. Smells divinely and stays soft even after cool down. Soft, spongy, fluffy to handle, you would love it!

Reena
delish!
sooper breakfast for kids..
Pancakes looks so good,,.:)
Just made these pancakes but substituted cultured coconut milk (I am allergic to milk)and they were fabulous! My husband loved them and ate with ribbon cane syrup (he is from southern USA). Thank you very much for a perfect vegan pancake.
thank you so much for this recipe! I messed around a bit with it to fit my family's dietary needs and they are still wonderful!
this is really delicious one to try ,….
Wow.. u always come out with something new.. i am gonna try this for sure 🙂
What!? How have you people never had pancakes? You must not be from the U.S. of A, cause we eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! :-)…though, I had never thought that you could make them without eggs, unless it was the "Just Add Water" kind. Yep, we have processed, boxed, powered pancake mix in America cause we are THAT LAZY! We also have frozen ones you can pop in the microwave! (Yucky,though) Thank you for the recipe, looks yummy!
Hello, I made these for breakfast today, thank you for the great post. Only my pancakes didn't turn out as fluffy as yours, any idea where I could have gone wrong?
Hi Raks I tried these for bf today, came out nice, soft & fluffy…..but once it cooled down a bit, there was a slightly bitter after taste….any idea why? We had it with maple syrup.
WAT S PANCAKE??? HOW THE TASTE WILL BE? AND DONT WE NEED ANY SIDE DISH FOR THIS RECIPIE???
It should come out perfect if you follow the measurements correctly. May be try again and see… Do not skip any ingredient mentioned.
Pancakes are more like our dosa, but it will be thick and sweeter in taste. You need only honey or some sweet syrup to eat it with, top it with butter, kids would love it.
Hi…i made the pancakes with wheat instead of plain flour…and it turned out very well…as u said experimented with milk and i required nearly 2cups of milk for 1cup of wheat flour.Thanks a lot for such great recepies..btw i also tried the sweet corn soup and tomato pulav…all are really heavenly in taste. 🙂
Made this yesterday at home.. Came out awesome.. Tks for the recipe!!
hi..
i tried this recipe, but it tasted very bitter and salty, pls help.
vidhya
It looks like your baking powder is spoiled or you might have added baking soda by mistake?
Thank you 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Thank you, it might be the taste of baking powder, do not add more than mentioned. Make sure its not baking soda.
I'm gonna try this out right now thanks a million dear… 🙂
Thanks for this recipe. I am always looking for eggless recipes as my son has egg allergy. I halved the recipe and it made 4 pancakes using a soup ladle. I added chocolate chips to 2 of them. Delish.
MMMMMmmmmm!!!! thank you! I am 2 months pregnant with horrible morning sickness, and this is the first thing i have been able to cook, smell and eat successfully in almost 2 weeks now. sooooo good!
absolutely delicious. I am 2 months pregnant and this is the first thing i have been able to eat in over a week 🙂
Hello! I tried your recipe and blogged about it over at Food to the Max (http://foodtothemax.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/eggless-strawberry-pancakes/). Mine didn't come out nearly as pretty as yours, but they were good!
Awesome and simply divine taste

This is a reverse case I am sorry. I was to take permission from you before i posted this recipe on my place. I was sure I had taken your permission now I realize I had not. Kindly excuse me.
But I made these out of ragi and I posted it as a part of Blogging Marathon (linked it back to you)and they were awesome. Let me also confess that no one in my family eats pancakes they are sweet is their reaction but aftre seeing the pictures they all wanted the pancakes specially made. We had them today and guess what I am told to make them again tomorrow. Thanks a million for the awesome recipe.
Firstly, thanks for this reipe.. i always look for eggless dishes and today i randomly thought for pancakes as breakfast and found your page on top.. i must say the pictures persuaded me to try and the recipe looked simple.. and after half n hour we were enjoying the delicious pancakes with honey. My husband loved them to and asked me to make it a reguar dish now.. just wanted to let you know that i added a little more milk to the batter as i thought it was too thick.. also added more sugar. Thanks again for this awesome dish..
gorgeous n yum……whenever i think of pancakes…its only ur recipe….lite soft n just melts in the mouth….g8 job…. 🙂
This is the first time I cooked pancake. thanks to your recipe, it was very easy and simple. will keep it book marked.:)
How much is 1 cup in gms? Is there a standard? – thanks
My 1 cup holds 240 ml of liquid.
Made this now awesome. Covered with a lid and they cook and colour much better with a lid. Thanks
!PLEASE REPLY!
Can I use these pancakes in making dorayakis? Like I made these Pancakes and filled it with molten chocolates or any other filing like jam and all then made on more hot Pancake so it could stick the previous one?
!PLEASE REPLY!

You can try
these are mind bowingly fluffy even without egg. i like them better than the one with egg.
this goes great for breakfast.
Please do not use self rising flour. It has added chemicals to make the dough rise high. The pancake liquid in the recipe will rise a little. If the pancake is too high then the inside will not cook and it will be unpleasant to eat.
The baking soda adds a pleasant tingly sour taste in the same way that tamarind does to other foods.
Also, one can eat a pancake the Scandinavian way. You add a little sugar with some lemon or lime juice as a topping.
Just ate a stack, they turned out perfect and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
Excellent recipe without eggs!!! Should give a try… I have a quick query – what difference baking soda will do against baking powder?
Baking soda and baking powder are not the same, one reacts with the ingredients before and one while getting cooked, so it will bring some differences in the texture.
Thank you Rak, I was craving pancakes 5am this morning and didn't have eggs. These were the most amazing pancakes – so fluffy!!
Thanks Rak,will try hope my babies love too, will update you with the output of my experiment too dear
Had run out of eggs and randomly Googled this wonderfully brilliant recipe.
It's fantastic!!
Works perfectly and we in fact prefer this recipe to the traditional pancakes made with eggs and butte
A thousand thank you's
Thanks a lot for sharing this super simple recipe. I tried them and it came out perfectly! 🙂
Loved it! Tried it with minor tweaks…but it came awesome…I would love to share pics with you.
never be as good as the egg one tried diff recepies for this! sorry!
You measurements are out of the way I guess. I tried with the same and guess baking powder was almost 4 times as required. I had to put much more of the rest of the ingredients to get the right taste. My cup size might have differed from yours but won't be this off the mark….
My 1 cup holds 240 ml of liquid. I made this very recently too following the same measurements and for me no problem. Also if you see above comments, many have successfully tried this.
Can I substitute Eno fruit salt for baking powder?
Can I substitute Eno fruit salt for baking powder?
I dont this so… Atleast you can reduce the quantity and try half baking powder and eno fruit salt. But try at your own risk 😉
Thanks Reks. Excellent one! I do use 1tsp of flax seed meal mixed with warm water as an egg substitute.
Great recipe Raks. I do use flax seed meal (~1 tsp) mixed with warm water as an egg substitue for my pancake recipe.
i made these today because we didn't have any eggs and they were delicious and so fluffy! my husband could not get over how good they were and kept saying they were "on point." an awesome find! thank you! 🙂
Hey Raks loved the pics n ended up doing this today..the aroma was awesome..n the colour was just right. .but i felt it wasn't cooked enough inside..could u pls let me know what went wrong. Waiting to redo it !!.tia..!!

May be the baking powder or soda didn't work. try buying fresh ones.
hi wnted to ask is it ok if i add coco powder or chocolate chips to the recipe to make chocolate pancakes? i mean would it still work?
i dont hav a Iron skillet (Iron dosa pan) so does a normal frying pan work?
hi wnted to ask is it ok to add coco powder or chocolate chips to the recipe to make chocolate pancakes? would tht work?
Yes it will work.
Hey Raks..
I made these for breakfast this morning, and I got the same feedback too.. 🙁 Slight bitter after taste.. I used the same measurement as mentioned by you.. Can u post pictures of what the tsps and tblsp look like?
Also, can you elaborate on what you mean by mixing gently?
I had to use 1/4 cup of milk extra to bring it to batter consitency..
It would be great, if you could post more details on the consistency..
Hi Raks,
I tried this one today with the same measurements as above, I found the pancakes texture was good but the taste was bitter and smell of baking powder was too much…. what could be the reason you think?
Looks like baking powder not in good quality.
Yes please refer my red velvet pancakes for measurements.
Can we add baking soda instead of baking powder ?
No both works in different way. If you want to try adding very less
cool thanx this was yumm
I live in a very small village named Tirwa in India … I ws searchin for eggless pancakes n found this recipe … I cooked them along with added topping of freshly grated coconut n flakes of almonds n little bit of lime juice its taste was divine my daughter loved it … thanks a ton … 🙂
Amazing recipe…. Pancakes were soft n fluffy… Totally irresistible..
My son woke up this morning asking for pancakes and after I agreed, I realized I didn't have eggs. Found this recipe via Google search. These turned out great and will definitely be making again. I also had some opened coconut milk that needed to be used so I did half coconut milk and half regular. Yum!!
Hi,
Can I give this to my 11 month old baby?
This has more baking powder and soda, so i am not sure if u can give
Hey, I tried it at home today and turned out to be good. Thanks a ton for sharing the recipe!
I made this as I was alone and home and hungry. This is so easy to make.. not to forget, delicious. It's so soft.
I had this with honey and chocolate syrup. Yummy. :3 ❤
I just tried this at home and I added shredded carrots, it turns out to be more delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Hey…
I made pancakes the way you had instructed…It was great, soft, fluffy and delicious…WHAT CAN I TOP IT WITH? IF I WANT TO MAKE THE SYRUP HOMEMADE TOO? OTHER THAN HONEY BECAUSE I USED A WILD BEE HONEY…I WANT OTHER ALTERNATIVES
You can use other syrups like maple syrup.
Nice Recipe!!
Awesome formula for us vegetarians !
Does the baking soda measure increase proportional to additional amounts of flour ??
1/4 to 1/2 tsp per 1 cup of flour
Thank you for the quick response! I tried it out and the taste was delish 🙂
Hi just tried ur recepie… the result was yummylicously amazing… my kids loved it. Thank you
Try adding buttermilk instead of eggs. By adding buttermilk you maintain the moisture and fluffiness that the eggs would have provided
Delicious – I was searching for a good eggless mix (Per Google) and came across your recipe/website. Really enjoyed these pancakes! Thank you!
My son just loved it. Nice evening snack. I tried with wheat flour it turned out really well
Hey,I tried this recipe just two days ago and believe me.. My husband love it so much!!! I would really love to try the pancakes with eggs, can you post a recipe of that!? Or give me some hints in how do I go about adding eggs in this same recipe? Thanks
Thanks for the feedback 🙂 I am really sorry, no idea about using eggs
Hi I was wondering if you could mix mash banana in the mixture?
Yes sure, I have posted a banana pancake too, please use the search box or recipe index to find the recipe if you want 🙂
Can we put Hershey's syrup as well
For topping, yes!
i made this pancake and it was delicious.. i add banana in it ..thank u
