Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

  • self-raising flour: If you don't have self-raising flour you can use 1 cup of plain flour combined with 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  • caster sugar: I like to use caster sugar as it is a bit finer than regular granulated sugar, but regular sugar will work just fine.
  • melted butter: Melted coconut oil or your favourite mild-flavoured oil will work fine. (steer clear of Extra virgin olive oil, it will be too strongly flavoured for this pancake recipe.
  • vinegar: I tend to use apple cider vinegar, but any vinegar you have on hand is fine.

Step two: Melt the butter and add to the dry ingredients along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well, I use a wooden spoon at this stage. The batter will be quite thick and fluffy.

Top Tips

Here is how you can make these egg-free pancake recipe perfectly every time!

  • Don't overmix: Pancake batter is a little like muffin batter, it is better to not overmix, overmix activates gluten and you end up with a dense chewy pancake.
  • Don't skip the vinegar! The vinegar is in the recipe because its acidic nature activates the baking soda, giving you the lightest fluffiest pancakes.
