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.

How to make egg-free pancakes
Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my no-egg pancake Recipe, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.
Prep: Heat a frying pan to medium heat.
Step one: Place the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl; self-raising flour, baking soda, caster sugar and salt. Use a fork or whisk to combine them.
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.
Step three: Grease the pan, and place scoops of the egg-free pancake butter onto the heated pan. (I use a ¼ cup scoop, 60 ml).
Step four: Cook for a few minutes, you will probably see a couple of bubbles forming and popping on the surface of the pancake.
Step five: Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes.
Enjoy!
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.
