Two weeks back I happened to taste Hot cakes from Mc Donald’s. It was the first time I ever tasted a pancake. I had a doubt if it had egg in it, 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. And we always make pancakes without egg. Turns out very good and soft.

  2. 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.eggless pancake recipe step 2
  3. 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. eggless pancake recipe step 3

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, 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.

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!

  94. 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!

  122. 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.

  132. 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.

  134. 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..

    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?

  154. 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.

  160. 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.

  166. 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

  174. 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….

  176. 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.

  204. 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..

  206. 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?

  222. 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!!

    Does the baking soda measure increase proportional to additional amounts of flour ??
