  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make eggless pancakes without yeast? First, gather everything you'll need. Use bottled or boiled water, and make sure it's warm. Use all-purpose wheat flour. For the vinegar, apple cider vinegar works well (you can swap in plain white vinegar).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Take a deep bowl and sift the flour into it through a fine sieve to aerate it, which makes the batter lighter.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Add the sugar and salt to the bowl of sifted flour.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Stir all the dry ingredients together well. You don't have to add all the flour at once — hold some back so you can add it as you go, since you may need a little more or less than I did.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Pour the warm water into a suitable container, then stir in a spoonful of apple cider vinegar.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Pour the water-and-vinegar mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Mix everything together well into a smooth, even batter, then cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to develop the gluten.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Set a skillet on the stove and pour in enough vegetable oil to fully coat the bottom, then heat it over medium.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Once the batter has rested, sprinkle the baking soda into the bowl.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Give everything one more good stir. The batter should be neither too thick nor too runny — on the hot skillet it should hold its shape and set right away rather than spreading out.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Spoon the batter into the hot oil a tablespoon at a time and fry over medium heat until golden on the first side.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Flip the pancakes and fry until golden on the second side.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the pancakes finish cooking through. It took me about a minute and a half — go by your own stove.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and serve.

  • I'm delighted to show you how to make wonderfully fluffy pancakes at home with no yeast, eggs, or dairy. If you've been wanting airy pancakes without yeast or eggs — good year-round, not just during a fast — this is the recipe for you. And they're doubly satisfying: they come out light and delicious every time, and they're about as budget-friendly as it gets. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
  • Be ready to use a little more or less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the desired consistency of the batter rather than the exact amount of flour.
  • Use an oil with a high smoke point for frying. Oils are only healthy up to a certain temperature — the smoke point — beyond which they start to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. Unrefined oils, with few exceptions, have a low smoke point; they're full of unfiltered organic particles that burn quickly. Refined oils handle heat better and have a higher smoke point. If you're cooking in the oven, in a skillet, or on the grill, make sure you're using a high-smoke-point oil. The most common ones are refined sunflower, olive, and grapeseed oil.
