Pancakes!

No reason you should go without pancakes, especially since the egg only helps to fluff them up. I use baking powder as a replacement and these come out really light and fluffy. If you like a bit more dense pancake, use half the amount.

There are countless ways to fill your pancakes once you have the basic recipe, these ones I made today just happen to be strawberry and chocolate. Mmmmmm.

Yields about 6 large pancakes

Ingredients 

1 cup unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 tbs baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup soymilk
1 tbs vanilla 

Preheat a frying pan to medium high. Add a tbs or so of oil.

Mix everything together along with whatever else you may be adding like, blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon, chocolate chips, bananas, whatever you want in a large bowl.

Pour a small amount of batter at a time onto the hot pan. The batter will be rather thick so don't let your cakes get too high of they will come out raw on the inside. Unlike conventional pancakes, these won't make bubbles on the opposite side as easily, so you should flip them when the edges start to cook just a little bit, about 3 minutes. Cook for another 3 minutes and if they are still raw in the middle, press down with a spatula, they will still come out light and airy.

Top with syrup or fresh fruit and enjoy!
