For many people pancakes are sacred. It’s always milk, eggs, flour and, of course, butter to grease the pan. However, making pancakes without eggs, milk or butter is completely feasible, easy and absolutely delicious.

I used vegetable milk and also melted margarine, which can be replaced by oil. To make your pancakes, you must start with the dry ingredients and then gradually add the liquid.

After all your ingredients are mixed together, let the pancake batter stand for 1 hour because flour contains starch, and starch is a bit like a sponge, which swells on contact with water. To give it time to swell, we let the pancake batter rest. The goal is to have a dough that won’t break when cooked.
