MILKLESS PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH 
2 c. flour
4 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract

This is a milk free version of pancakes from scratch. Easy and good yield of about 20 pancakes of about 4" diameter - perfect for our hungry family of four.

Put dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Crack eggs into small bowl and beat till bubbles start to form. Stir in vanilla extract and oil.

Combine egg, oil and vanilla with dry ingredients and water and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.

Scoop batter into medium-heat skillet in 1/3 cupfuls. Flip when bubbles form and edges begin to dry. Do not press down after flipping - this prevents rising of the pancake batter during cooking.

This recipe is good but I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil and a little extra sugar and they came out delicious!

Way too watery! I followed the directions and pancakes were thin. Next time i would modify the amount of water.. or try different recipe.

Made these this morning. Modified by only using 1.5 cups of water, heaping 4 tsp. of baking powder, only 1 tbsp. of oil, and 2.5 tsp. of vanilla, with everything else as listed. They turned out awesome! Kids loved them! Yielded about 14-15, but my pancakes week much larger than 4 inches. After sitting on a plate and cooling, they are about 3/4-1 inch thick... so quite fluffy! Great recipe especially since we didn't have any milk in the house this morning. Keeping this one handy. Thanks!!!

The pancakes came out fluffy, and although I added more sugar enhancement, I followed your recipe. Thank you! I think I'll try some other recipes you have. As a father cooking for kids with insatiable appetites... I need all the help I can for variety.

I used soda water, cut back on the baking powder and put in a bit more sugar. It came out great! I think soda water helps a lot with providing fluffiness.
