How to prepare Pancakes without milk

To make pancakes without milk, add the egg and sugar to a bowl 1, then add room temperature water 2 and stir with a hand whisk to mix the ingredients well 3.

Add the sifted flour 4 and baking powder 5, then mix again 6.

You should obtain a smooth, lump-free batter 7. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a couple of tablespoons of batter into the center 8. Let it cook over low heat until bubbles form 9.

At this point, flip the pancake to the other side 10 and cook for another minute 11. As they cook, stack the pancakes on a plate and continue this way until you finish all the batter; with these amounts, you will get 12 pancakes with a diameter of about 3 inches.

If you want, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator.

Advice

If you prefer to omit the baking powder, you can separate the egg yolk from the white and beat the white until stiff, then fold it into the mixture gently with upward movements.
