Step-by-Step Preparation
Preparing fluffy pancakes without butter is really simple: just mix the ingredients in the correct order and follow a few cooking tips. I will guide you step by step!
For the pancake batter:
For the batter
1. Crack the egg into a bowl and add the sugar.
2. Whisk until you get a smooth mixture.
3. Add the milk at room temperature and continue mixing.
4. Gradually add the sifted flour with baking powder.
5. Don’t worry if the batter for fluffy pancakes without butter has a few small lumps: it’s normal.
For cooking
Heat a non-stick pan well.
Pour a ladle of batter in the center without spreading it.
Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles appear (about 3-4 minutes).
Gently flip with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Repeat until the batter is used up.
Tips for not messing up the cooking
Don’t cook over too high heat: they risk burning on the outside and staying raw inside.
Never press the pancakes with the spatula: they’ll lose their fluffiness and volume.
Always use a non-stick pan: no need to grease and they will flip easily.
Wait for bubbles to appear before flipping: it’s the signal they’re ready.
If you want a perfect shape, you can use a small steel or silicone pastry ring.
The beauty of this recipe is that the pancakes come out fluffy without the need for butter, making them lighter but no less delicious. You can cook them in a pan, as in the American tradition, but if you’re creative, you can also try baking them in small cocottes.

Variations and Tips
Add a teaspoon of cocoa to the batter for chocolate pancakes.
Replace milk with a plant-based drink (soy, oat, or almond) for a lactose-free version.
If you want them taller, whip the egg white into stiff peaks and gently fold it in.
Serve them hot with fresh fruit, whipped cream, honey, or chocolate/Nutella.
You can prepare them the night before: in the morning just heat them slightly in a pan or microwave.
How to store pancakes:
In the refrigerator: they keep for 2 days in an airtight container.
In the freezer: you can freeze them cooked, separated by parchment paper. To enjoy, just heat them in a pan or microwave.
At room temperature: better to consume them on the same day, as they tend to dry out.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Often those who make this recipe write to me with doubts or curiosities: I have collected here the most frequent questions with practical answers, so you will find the solution immediately without risking errors. These are useful tips that apply to many other home preparations!
Can I make pancakes without eggs?
Yes! Just replace the egg with 50 g of yogurt or ½ mashed banana.
Can I use different flours than all-purpose?
Sure: whole wheat, oat, or gluten-free flour works well, but the texture will be slightly different.
How do I make them taller and fluffier?
Separate the yolk from the egg white: whip the latter into stiff peaks and gently fold it into the batter.
Is cow’s milk or plant-based milk better?
Both work: with soy or oat milk you’ll get lactose-free pancakes that are still very fluffy.
Can they be made savory?
Absolutely yes! Just eliminate the sugar and add a pinch of salt: perfect with salmon, fresh cheeses, or grilled vegetables.
