  • You don't need milk for classic pancakes — water stands in just fine. Eggs, though, are a must: they're what make the batter supple and the pancakes soft. Add a little vegetable oil to the batter too, so the pancakes release cleanly from the pan. My shortcut: dump everything into a deep bowl all at once and blend it smooth with a mixer — the whole batter comes together in 3 to 4 minutes. Before you start, prep the pan: brush it lightly with vegetable oil and get it good and hot, with the burner set a touch above medium. For each thin pancake, pour about half a ladle of batter into the hot pan, then quickly swirl it to coat the whole surface, tilting the pan side to side. Cook about 30 seconds, gently lift an edge with a spatula, flip, and cook another 30 seconds on the second side. Stack the finished pancakes on a flat plate. Serve these water pancakes with sour cream, jam, or fruit preserves.
