Pancakes: Flatbelly Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute

Preparation

Step 1

For thinner pancakes, use up to 1 1/4 cups skim milk.

For thicker pancakes, use only 3/4 cup skim milk.

Banana Pancakes: Stir 1/2 cup mashed bananas into the wet ingredients.

Buckwheat Pancakes: Replace 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup buckwheat flour.

Buttermilk Pancakes: Replace the baking powder with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Replace the skim milk with buttermilk.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg substitute. Gently stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture just until a lumpy batter forms.

Coat a griddle or large no-stick skillet with no-stick spray. Warm over medium heat for 1 minute.

For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the top of the pancake bubbles and the bottom is lightly browned. Turn the pancake over and cook for 2 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Transfer to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining batter.
