Pancakes without soda became very popular, because the absence of this additive in the composition of the dish makes it airy, porous and gives a more natural taste.

Pancakes can be cooked different ways, including without soda. The basis of such pancakes is eggs, milk and flour

Previously, pancakes were a purely festive dessert, but now they are cooked often for the reason that this is a budget and delicious food, consisting of affordable, simple ingredients. Pancakes without soda can be made on kefir, milk or water basis, it all depends on the taste preferences. The dish can be served both basic and as a dessert. Filling is chosen different, sweet or salty, also depending on individual preferences.

The right tool is the key for turning and removing pancakes. Look for a very thin spatula; he must slip into a pancake without tearing it. Watch for new thin blades, made especially for dishes with non-stick coating. How to freeze pancakes with chilled pancakes between squares of waxed paper; place in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container. Preheat on a baking sheet in a preheated oven for 350 degrees or in an oven with a toaster.

Just use milk and lemon juice! If you've never tried these biscuit droplets, you can check out the super-thick test texture in this video. These substitutes treat buttermilk as if it were just a delivery device for water, lactose and acidity, and not a vital means of controlling the viscosity of the batters and dough. Take, for example, my beloved. They are made with equal parts of flour and buttermilk by weight, but the dough seems thick and dry and as fluffy as a haystack.

To make good pancakes, you need to follow a few tips, and then their cooking will not be a torture for an inexperienced housewife, if she is just starting to cook:

  • The ideal cooking device for frying is a cast-iron frying pan.
  • The surface of the frying pan is best lubricated not only with vegetable fat, but also with a slice of lard.
  • When using a Teflon griddle (with non-stick coating), you can avoid smearing the surface with grease.
  • The necessary accessories for stirring the dough are a spatula, a ladle, a bowl with high edges and a whisk.
  • If there are no specific kitchen skills, then it is not recommended to throw pancakes from the frying pan into the air.
  • Flour, necessary for the preparation of the dough, is necessarily sieved. This must be done to improve the quality of the product.
  • Ingredients from the refrigerator are delivered in advance and are heated to room temperature, it is not practical to use cold products in this case.
  • The dough is poured in small quantities to make the dish thin. To do this, it is necessary to pour the mixture at an angle to the surface of the dishes.
  • If the prescription implies the presence of a lubricating fat component among the products for cooking, then the frying pan is smeared only once for the first portion of frying.

Methods of preparation without adding soda

Recipe 1 - pancakes on kefir without soda

Such pancakes will be deprived of the splendor that sodium bicarbonate gives, but they will taste more delicate, they will feel soft and porous to the touch. Also kefir gives a touch of light sourness.

Recipes of pancakes on yogurt

This consistency helps the liver to keep the shape in the oven, so they incinerate light and height. Although buttermilk may seem super thick, it is still basically water, which allows it to help in the development of gluten for the structure, provide fuel for paired growth and provide enough hydration to keep the cookies damp.

Because of all these factors, a successful replacement of buttermilk is a high order, since the most frequently proposed replacements fail? It is often believed that a shy cup of milk plus a tablespoon of lemon juice, vinegar or cream from tartar is a reliable substitute for buttermilk, but let it be honest - when it comes to taste, such substitutions will always be a distant second place. Instead of the soft complexity that develops due to cultivation, they have nothing but a sharp single-note acidity. This sharpness is aggravated by the fact that these variants are often more acidic than buttermilk, which can greatly complicate toasting.

If you cook this dish correctly, then the pancakes on kefir without soda will easily surpass the classical recipes.

You will need a list of such ingredients:

  • 500 ml of kefir (2.5 cups).
  • 2 medium chicken eggs.
  • A tablespoon of sugar.
  • Half a teaspoon of salt.
  • 2 cups of wheat flour.


  Tender and delicious pancakes  without soda are prepared by classic recipe  without adding soda, based on milk and eggs

To prepare the dough, first you need to separate the proteins from the yolks. The yolks are mixed with the sweetener, and then the whites are beaten and salt is poured into them. The ingredients are mixed separately and are not yet combined. Then kefir poured into the flour sieved beforehand at room temperature and all this is stirred to a homogeneous mass. Proteins and yolks are added to the resulting mass, and again everything is thoroughly mixed to a homogeneous consistency. Next, warm up the frying pan, pour a little oil and pour the dough a thin layer, bake until cooked on both sides. You can serve pancakes with garnish as well as with sweet stuffing.

Although the amount of acid could be fine-tuned, the consistency of milk-based substitutions will inevitably be thin. Compared to cultivated buttermilk, plain milk is watery, making the dough so heavy and wet that it drips into a puddle, turning biscuits into flat and dense ones.

Of course, you can use less milk to get closer to the thickness of the buttermilk-based test, but then you will have less water to develop gluten, less water turning into leaching vapor, and less hydration as a whole. If you do, throw cookies, biscuits or muffins, having a thick dough or dough is critical to good growth and nailing the pH, which is important for toasting. Therefore, if you do not encounter some terrible emergency situation that somehow prevents the change of plans, do not worry about milk and lemon juice.

Recipe 2 - with kefir without eggs and soda

The kefir preheated to room temperature is mixed with a glass of sifted wheat flour, two tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of any vegetable oil. The mixture is mixed and left for 20 minutes in a bowl covered with a napkin. Then everything is done simply - oil is poured on a hot frying pan, when it warms up, pour the dough in a thin layer and bake from both sides. Pancakes without eggs come out pretty simple, so it is recommended to make a juicy filling or serve in butter.

Unfortunately, the reconstituted buttermilk was as thin and watery as acidified milk, and the damp dough spread just as tightly and thinly. On the positive side, powdered buttermilk naturally delivered an ideal pH and aroma. My cookies were well roasted and tasted good.

Yeast kefir pancakes

Throw a cookie made with a reconstituted buttermilk powder, thin in the oven. Those that are made with cultural buttermilk will bake fluffy and tall. This loss of height and down will persist for any recipe in which the consistency of the dough Irish soda bread, cupcakes and buns is important. Since oily buttermilk thickens with active cultures, it is often said that plain yogurt makes an excellent substitute. Visually, this is certainly similar to the fact that yogurt keeps the dough thick, and my biscuits glow with a golden brown crust, too.

Recipe 3 - on milk without soda

Composite components are required:

  • Milk - 250 ml.
  • 4 tablespoons of sugar.
  • 2 medium eggs.
  • 15 ml of sunflower oil (tablespoon).
  • 100 grams of sifted flour.
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar.

Sugar with eggs is carefully triturated until it is completely dissolved (if the pieces of sugar are not completely dissolved, the pancakes can burn). Then the mixture is poured vanilla sugar, the milk and everything is mixed again. At the end, flour is added and whipped again. Vegetable oil is added to the homogeneous mass, mixed. The frying pan is heated, but it is not necessary to pour preliminary vegetable or animal fat into it. The dough is poured a thin layer and evenly fried on both sides.

However, what can not be fixed in the photograph is how each bite moves around like a wet lump in the mouth. Thanks to its method of production, yogurt is much higher in dairy dry substances, including both protein and lactose than buttermilk. This gives the yogurt-based recipes a unique character: rich and moist, with subtle sweetness.

Since there were almost no visual differences, we chose one photo, not two. Fortunately, the success of the reader in this Irish soda bread gave me direct thanks, Decai! He kept the dough thick, so the cookies became light and fluffy, with a beautifully golden crust and light crumbs. More importantly, they seemed fantastic, with no hints of stickiness or harsh acidity.
