Baking soda and baking powder give me really bad issues, which is awful, because baking powder and baking soda are in every delicious baked good ever. I hated to think that I would never again be able to eat pancakes or waffles again, so I looked up a recipe for leavening-free pancakes and this is what I found.
MERINGUE PANCAKES
the fluffy lightness of a meringue meets a pancake and you get a perfect pancake with no need for leavening!
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (I always put a little more in)
1 cup milk (almond or soy or rice works perfectly well, depending on your taste, but I substituted for 1 cup water and it worked fine)
2 tsp cinnamon (added to the original recipe. SO much better!)
2 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
mix flour, salt, vanilla, your choice of milk substitute or water, cinnamon, and egg yolks until just blended. do not over mix.
in a separate bowl, stir egg whites and sugar until it it forms stiff peaks. Do not attempt to do this by hand, no matter how great your egg-beating skills are.
fold the egg whites into the pancake mix until blended.
Heat pancake pan over medium heat and measure out about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Spread with the back of a spoon to the desired width. unlike regular pancakes, it won't rise at all. There will still be bubbles forming at the top. Cook until all the bubbles pop and brown on the bottom. Flip over and cook until done. Ta-da! leavening-free pancakes!
You can experiment with your pancakes and add blueberries or whatever your heart desires to the mix.
These are the easiest pancakes to cook. I didn't burn a single one and all of them were perfect, which NEVER happens when I cook pancakes. These are about as simple and delicious as you can get.
enjoy!
