- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, oil, and egg. Mix until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake; cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes.

Pancakes Recipe (Without Egg)
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-fat or 1% milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
- Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine milk, oil, and water. Add to dry ingredients.
- Stir just until moistened.
- Lightly spray a large skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray or lightly wipe with oil. Heat skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet). For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle.
- Pancakes are ready to turn when the tops are bubbly all over, a few bubbles have burst, and the edges begin to appear dry. Use a quick flip with a broad spatula to turn pancakes. Turn only once. Bake until the bottoms are brown and dry.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Tips
- Try adding fresh bananas or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
- Try using ¾ cup whole wheat flour and ½ cup all-purpose flour for more whole grains! Add 1-2 TB of water if the batter is too thick.
- To see if the skillet is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If drops skitter around, the heat is just right.
- Top with applesauce, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
- These easy pancakes are best served with homemade blueberry compote.
