Soft and Fluffy Pancakes – Egg and Dairy-Free

Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of white flour, 1 cup of feno flour, 1 tablespoon of instant yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ tablespoon of salt. Stir all the dry ingredients together to ensure everything is well combined.
Add Water Gradually: Slowly pour in 2 cups of water, stirring continuously as you add it. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should have a consistency similar to a thick pancake batter. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.

Incorporate Baking Powder: Once the batter is smooth, stir in 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This will give an extra boost to the fluffiness of the pancakes during cooking.

Let the Batter Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen cloth and allow the batter to rest for about 30-45 minutes. During this time, the yeast will activate, causing the batter to rise slightly and become bubbly. This resting period is crucial for achieving light and airy pancakes.

Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. No need to add oil, as you want the pancakes to cook evenly and develop their signature holes on the surface.

Pour the Batter: Using a ladle or small scoop, pour a small amount of the batter onto the preheated pan. You can make the pancakes any size you prefer, but traditionally, these pancakes are small, about the size of a palm.
Cook on One Side Only: Cook the pancakes on one side only. As they cook, small holes should begin to form on the surface—this is a sign that the yeast is working its magic! Allow the pancakes to cook thoroughly on one side until they turn a light golden color. There’s no need to flip them; they are meant to be cooked only on one side.

Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate. These pancakes are traditionally served warm with honey or butter for added richness and sweetness. You can also pair them with jams, syrups, or your favorite sweet spreads.

Enjoy the Fluffy Texture: The pancakes should be light, soft, and full of tiny air pockets, making them incredibly fluffy and delicious.
