FAQs
Can I make these pancakes vegan?
You can replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) to make a vegan version. The texture may be slightly different but still delicious.
How do I prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan?
Using a non-stick pan or adding a small amount of olive oil or butter before cooking helps prevent sticking. Make sure the pan is properly heated before adding the batter.
