Pancakes from Scratch - no eggs and no milk

We wanted pancakes. We discovered there was no mix in the house, no eggs, and no milk. Quite the conundrum! My lovely two youngest monkeys made pancakes from scratch! We found (& tweaked) a recipe we found online. It appeared in a few spots and had rave reviews all around.


In the original recipe, basic directions were to sift flour, combine dry ingredients, and mix in liquid. The butter was to be melted and used to fry the pancakes. I am sure that this would be an arduous process and result in lovely pancakes.


BUT we did not do it this way! We have a pancake making machine that turn out fluffy, round pancakes. So, the melted butter was not needed to cook them and we added it to the mix. We are pancake eating people and we needed to double the recipe. White sugar isn't very yummy and we opted to use brown sugar instead. (Plus, we were low on sugar!)

OUR VERSION:

2 cup white flour
5 tablespoons brown sugar (full but not packed)
4 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons margarine
1 3/4 cup water

We melted butter in a bowl. Then we dumped everything else in the bowl with it. All ingredients were mixed and whisked together until it was pretty smooth. THEN they started adding green food coloring. HA!  These turned out to be the yummiest pancakes we ever made!  You could easily do add ins or toppings to this recipe.  We will definitely use our recipe again.
