Pancake, eggless

-

When one doesn't have eggs, you can still make your child's favorite breakfast. The leavening agent here is baking powder and soda. I also used demerara sugar instead of white sugar. Demerara sugar named so after the British colony of Demerara, which is now in republic of Guyana is made of 97-98% sucrose, as compared to 93% in white sugar. Hence it is healthier. This brownish tinged sugar is made from the first pressing of sugarcane.

 

ABCD's are...

All-purpose flour - 1 cup

Baking powder - 1 tsp

Baking soda - 1 tsp

Oat  milk, homemade - 1 and 3/4 cup

Demerara sugar - 1 and 1/2 Tbsp

Salt - a tad

Olive oil, extra virgin - 1 and 1/2 Tbsp

 

 

The procedure...

In a clean, glass bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Intermingle to combine everything.

Add in the oat milk and give it a good stir.

Heat up a flat-bottomed non-stick saucepan and drizzle a bit of oil when the pan becomes hot. Brush the oil to spread it across the pan. Add a tablespoon of batter each on the center and different corners of the pan. Cook on medium heat. Flip after about 2 minutes. Wait for another 2 minutes. Platter them when they are done. It is done when it turns a light shade of brown and small bubbles or holes form on its surface.

This is done in order to take away its bite and strong odor. The components of the overly simplified salad are...
