How to make Pancakes without baking powder
-
Mix the eggs
Separate 2 egg yolks and add them to the flour mixture, then use a whisk to mix well until combined.
-
Whip the egg whites
Use a whisk to continuously beat the 2 egg whites for 5 – 10 minutes until they are soft peaks, forming stiff peaks but still drooping slightly.
Tip: If you have a mixer, you can use it instead of whisking by hand for faster and more effective results.
-
Mix the pancake batter
Divide the whipped egg whites into 2 portions, adding each portion to the pancake batter mixture.
Use a spoon or spatula to gently mix the mixture from the bottom up. Bring the spoon down to the bottom of the bowl, lift the heavier ingredients up, and flip them to the side. Continue this process until the mixture is well combined.
Tip: This is the folding technique in baking. If you are not confident with this mixing technique, you can use a whisk to gently stir the mixture in one direction until well combined!
-
Frying the pancake
Put about 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil into the pan, then use a paper towel to spread the oil all over the pan. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot, then reduce to low heat.
Scoop about 1 ladle of the batter, pour slowly into the pan from a height. Fry the pancake over low heat until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake over and continue frying until golden brown.
-
Final product
The pancake does not require baking powder but is extremely fluffy and soft, with a nutty, sweet, and rich flavor. You can serve it with fruit jam, butter, and honey to make the dish even more delicious!

Whip the Egg Whites
First, separate the egg yolks and egg whites of the 2 chicken eggs. Then, squeeze 1 lemon through a sieve to extract the juice.
In the bowl of egg whites, add a little salt and the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use a whisk to continuously beat the mixture until tiny bubbles like soap appear.
Divide 20gr of sugar into 2 portions, adding each portion to the egg bowl and mixing until dissolved. When adding the second portion of sugar, continue to beat steadily for 5 – 10 minutes until the egg whites are soft and form peaks that bend over.
Tip: You can use a hand mixer instead of whisking by hand to make the egg beating process easier.
-
Mix the batter with the eggs
Add 20ml of unsweetened fresh milk into a bowl containing 2 egg yolks and stir well. Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla, a bit of cooking oil, and continue to stir well.
Sift 30gr of flour into the egg mixture, using a whisk to mix until the mixture is smooth.
-
Mixing the batter
Pour the whipped egg whites into the bowl of flour. Gently mix the mixture in an upward motion. Bring the spatula down to the bottom of the bowl, push the mixture up, and fold it to the side. Continue this process until the mixture is well combined (Folding technique).
Tip: If you are not familiar with the mixing technique mentioned above, you can gently stir the mixture in a clockwise direction! Note to stir gently, as stirring too vigorously will cause the air bubbles in the egg to break, leading to a deflated and dense pancake after frying.
-
Frying the pancakes
Place a pan on the stove, evenly coat the pan with a little cooking oil, and heat over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, reduce the heat to low, scoop each spoonful of batter and stack them on top of each other to form a tall and round pancake.
Next, cover tightly and fry the pancake on low heat for 3 minutes until the pancake is dry. After 3 minutes, flip the pancake, cover, and continue frying for another 3 minutes until cooked.

Final Product
Souffle pancakes do not require baking powder but still achieve a fluffy, soft, aromatic, and sweet texture that is extremely appealing. The pancakes can be paired with honey and fresh fruits for an even tastier flavor.
You don’t need baking powder or an egg whisk to make two delicious, fluffy pancake and souffle pancake dishes. Good luck with the two recipes for making pancakes without baking powder from TasteVN!
