add 3 teaspoons sugar. you can even add 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or skip it entirely.
add 1 teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder.
with a wired whisk mix all the dry ingredients very well. keep aside.
mixing wet ingredients for making eggless pancakes
take 1.5 cups milk in a sauce pan. keep the pan on a low to medium-low flame and begin to heat milk. you can also use almond milk or soy milk.
when the milk is becoming hot do stir occasionally. do not boil the milk but let it just become hot. you should see some steam coming from the milk.
when the milk becomes hot, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. you can also use oil instead of butter. use a neutral flavored oil.
mix the butter in the hot milk very well.
then add this mixture to the dry ingredients in the bowl. with a wired whisk mix very well.
break lumps with whisk and make a smooth batter. a few tiny lumps are fine in the batter.
the pancake batter is of a pourable consistency and not thick. if the batter looks thick, then you can add ¼ to ⅓ cup more of hot milk. depending on quality of whole wheat flour more milk can be added.
keep the pancake batter aside.

All went wrong..
I am very excited to try it but it turns into disaster. Do u have any secret ingredient for it…coz I follow all steps but didn’t work out.
can you let me know what happened. was the batter thick or thin? or were the pancakes sticking to the pan. i can then only tell what must have gone wrong.
Hi Dassana,

SM, Glad to know that you liked this pancake recipe.
Hi , can I use baking soda instead ?
dilna, you can add ¼ or ⅓ teaspoon baking soda. but do note that baking soda will give some of its aroma in the pancake.
