Can I Use Water Instead of Milk in Pancakes? Milk adds both flavor and texture to pancake batter, so if you are looking to make pancakes without milk, a simple swap to water doesn’t always do the trick. For pancakes made without milk, you’ll want to add some flavor through melted butter and vanilla extract.
Do you ever wake up in the morning craving pancakes? (Why am I even asking, of course, you do!) I always keep a box of pancake mix around just in case I’m in the mood. But sometimes, a store-bought mix just doesn’t have the flavor (or fluffiness) of a homemade batch.

Is milk better than water for making pancakes?
Yes, milk is better than water for making pancakes. There’s no denying that water is essential for making pancakes. After all, without water, the batter would be dry and crumbly. However, milk also played an important role in making pancakes during our experiment. Milk adds richness and flavor to the batter, resulting in fluffy and moist pancakes.
Are pancakes healthy to eat?
Pancake mixes are made from enriched flours, sugar, syrup, trans fats that have had nutrients added to the flour during manufacturing process. It also contains very low fiber, added sugar and syrup is likely to raise the blood sugars quickly. In this way pancake mixes are not healthy. But if they are made at home in an Indian style they are more healthy.
Does pancake batter make a good cake?
While the batter would be thick, it’s not likely to make light and fluffy cakes. The milk or water allows the batter to thin out and let all other ingredients make delectable cakes! The butter or oil is there to keep the pancakes moist. Eggs give your pancakes structure as well as flavor.
Can you use milk powder to make pancake batter?
Yes, you can use milk powder to make a pancake batter. We did add the milk powder to the dry ingredients and water to create a batter consistent with the regular pancake batter. Once you’ve made the batter, cook the pancakes as usual. They may be slightly less fluffy than pancakes made with fresh milk, but they will still taste delicious.
