How To Make Delicious Pancakes Without Yeast?

Yeast-free pancakes are a preparation that can be enjoyed either as a breakfast (in true American style) or as a post-workout snack. They are very easy to prepare and offer several interesting variants that can be adapted without much effort.

Since jam, syrups, honey and other foods rich in sugar are usually added to them, it is advisable to make pancakes with little or preferably no sugar. This also prevents the result from being cloying.

Pancakes are good options for breakfast to start the day with energy, but they should be enjoyed in moderation.

Yeast-free pancake recipes

To prepare pancakes without yeast, but using eggs, milk and butter to give them flavor and consistency and imitating the more traditional recipe, the following recipe can be followed.

Traditional pancakes

Ingredients

• A pinch of salt.

• 1 ½ tablespoon of butter (30 g).
• 1 tablespoon of honey or 2 of sugar (25 or 30 g).
• Optional: ground cinnamon or ginger.

Preparation

1. First, crack the eggs in a bowl and separate the yolks from the whites.  Meanwhile,  sift the flour together with the sugar and salt. And if you do not use sugar but honey, it is important that you add it in the center of the flour, once it has been sifted.
2. Place the butter in an ovenproof bowl and melt it in the microwave. On the other hand, heat a skillet lightly greased with a little butter.
3. Mix the butter, milk and yolks in the same bowl with the help of the mixer. Once you get a homogeneous dough, add a touch of cinnamon or ginger, if you wish.
4. Apart, beat the whites until stiff and add them to the dough
5. Put the necessary amount of batter in the pan to form the first of our pancakes without yeast. Let  cook a few minutes until bubbles begin to sprout mass. Once it is set enough, turn it over and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
6. Ideally, they should be half a centimeter thick.  
7. Make pancakes without yeast until you have finished all the batter. Later  serve them with the accompaniment that you like the most. You can choose honey, cheese, cream, fresh fruits, jams, compotes, chocolate, etc.
8. If you keep some pancakes in the refrigerator, try to consume them within 2-3 days maximum.
