Can i use water to make pancakes instead of milk?

Question

we're out of milk and i'm in the mood to make pancakes(yes at 12:30am) so i was wondering if i used water i know it will it come out bad or taste bad?

Answer 1

Do you have creme? Even using like coffee creamer or the kind from milk would be okay or even powered milk... some come out fine with water but I dunno... it might taste funny. Try adding some vanilla, or butter might be okay XD cause they always make that stuff buttermilk flavored...

Answer 3

Maybe not. Pancakes will turn out soggy and bitter-tasting.

Answer 4

the pancake mix should have enough milk biproduct in it. Ive made them with water before and they come out just fine. just make sure you butter ur pan a little more.

Answer 5

it should be fine to use water...if you want them melt-in-your mouth yummy, try adding a tablespoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (measurements approximate)

Answer 6

If it says like "Buttermilk Complete", then you are suppose to use water. Look on the box, and read it. I have used soy milk, when I didn't have regular milk.

Answer 7

It can work, but they wont taste the same as if you used milk or buttermilk.  They will come out and be edible...  just not taste as good as regular pancakes. Just dont make too many incase you dont like them.

Answer 8

Maybe you have canned milk in your cupboard.  Or dry milk in a box, which mixes with water.  You need the milk to hold it together.  I have tried things with water, and all you have left in pancakes, is flour.

Answer 9

Yes you can

Answer 10

We always use water for our pancakes and they turn out great! Try making an experimental batch like enough for 1 pancake and taste it to see.

Answer 11

nope. it'd taste weird!!

and the pancake wouldn't be fluffy!
