Eggless pancakes are a variation of classic pancakes, designed for those who cannot eat eggs – due to intolerances, allergies or food choices – or who simply don’t have any at home. Their dough contains only 3 ingredients: milk, flour and oil. The mixture thus obtained, after a short rest, is cooked in a crepe maker one ladle at a time, just like traditional crepes. They are elastic and thin pancakes, ideal to be stuffed with sweet and savory fillings.

The absence of eggs determines a mixture that still requires a few minutes of cooking at the base, before being easily turned over. Despite an apparent crunch, when cooked, stacked on top of each other and then covered with a cloth, the pancakes become soft and supple, just like the originals. The presence of oil, instead of butter, also makes them lighter.

We used cow’s milk in our recipe, but if you have vegan or lactose-intolerant guests, you can substitute it with a plant-based beverage with no added sugar, such as soy or almond. As soon as they are ready, you can stuff them with cold meats, cheeses and vegetables; if you like sweet flavors, add a cream of cocoa spread, jam or fresh fruit. With strawberries and chocolate, for example, you definitely can’t go wrong.

If you’re gluten intolerant, try these pancakes made with rice flour or egg whites only, for a light alternative. Find out how to make pancakes without eggs by following the step-by-step procedure and tips.
