Fluffy Eggless Pancakes

L00k's Note:

I poached this recipe from cooks.com (it was submitted by Dawn Linke, so props to her). I'm mainly posting it here since this is the recipe site I use the most and I want to add it to my cookbook, and I was most happy with this recipe vs. other eggless pancake recipes I've tried, so I figured it was worth sharing. :)

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 8 pancakes

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients and mix slightly.
2. Add milk, oil, water, and vanilla. Whisk together until just combined. Be careful not to over mix - it should still be slightly lumpy. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. While pan is heating, add butter. As soon as the butter is melted, add melted butter to pancake batter.
4. Return pan to stove and stir butter into batter.
5. When pan is hot, with a measuring cup or ladle, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Carefully flip pancakes with turner/spatula and cook until golden brown.
7. Note: This recipe also works well with whole wheat flour. Chopped fruit, nuts or chocolate chips can be added to batter before cooking for a unique treat.

Wonderful! I used the whole wheat flour option and exchanged the veggie oil for a heaping tbsp of apple sauce. To boost the "healthy factor" I added a tbsp of wheat germ & a handful of chopped strawberries to the batter. My 16 mo old daughter loved them topped with peanut butter, and I topped mine with peanut butter and real maple syrup. Thanks for sharing - will make again!

Just perfect for healthy everyday pancakes.

Oh, I forgot. I had no oil, so I substituted apple sauce (heaping T). Turned out just fine.
