Chinese Pancakes No Egg Or Milk Recipes

MILK-FREE, EGG-FREE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into medium mixing bowl.
• Melt 2 1/2 Tbsp margarine in frying pan until melted.
• Be sure to tip the pan side to side to coat/grease all over.
• Pour melted margarine in a small bowl, add water and egg (if you want to add egg); Mix well.
• Stir liquid mixture into the dry ingredients until it is thoroughly moistened.
• It is OK if this batter is lumpy.
• Cook the pancakes over medium-high heat on the stove-top (or 375F on electric frying pans).
• Cook pancakes until the tops are bubbly and the bottoms browned.
• Turn the pancakes over to cook other side (approximately four minutes per side).
• Serve hot with margarine, honey, brown sugar or maple syrup.
• Actual cooking time will depend on the size of the pan you are using; I have a small frying pan, so I have to do these individually. My mom has a griddle large enough to cook them all at once.

FIVE-SPICE CHINESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place flour, five spice powder, and chives (optional) in a medium bowl.
• Combine milk, margarine, and egg in a separate bowl.
• Add milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a whisk until blended.
• Cover and chill for an hour.
• Place an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot.
• Remove pan from heat and pour scant 1/4 cup of batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers the bottom of pan.
• Place pan back on burner and cook about 1 minute.
• Carefully lift edge of pancake with a spatula to test for doneness. The pancake will be ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned.
• Turn pancake over, cook other side for about 30 seconds.
• Place the pancake on a plate and cool. Repeat until all of the batter is used. Stack pancakes between single layers of wax paper to prevent pancakes from sticking.
