Help! I'm desperate! I want to make pancakes but have no milk

[Flaxbee]

and I just don't feel like going to the store tonight. I do, however, have a bunch of plain yogurt. Could I substitute yogurt for milk, and in what ratio? I've checked the Internets a bit, but every recipe with yogurt still seems to call for milk.

Help!

1. dunno, but maybe beat some water into some yogurt to get the liquid?

Ratios? You're on your own there. Cooking is an adventure and an art, not a science. Play a bit. Or just have yogurt for supper.

[Flaxbee]

7. that's what I was thinking - thin the yogurt out a bit

when I get the idea of pancakes in my head, really nothing will do but that I have them. My mother did this to me; I blame her. We quite often had breakfast for dinner and I looooved it. ;)

2. hmmm.....

you don't just have only water needed bisquick or anything? I know that for some recipes that call for buttermilk, you can substitute a mixture of vinegar and water in some proportion - maybe if you find a pancake recipe that calls for buttermilk, but not normal milk, you can find this buttermilk substitute thing in some online recipe deal - though I think just going to the store is about a million times easier.

[Flaxbee]

9. yeah, probably is easier going to the store,

but I was hoping for a quick and easy fix. I usually use eggs, milk, vegetable oil, some sugar and self-rising flour; don't have Bisquick in the house. Sigh.

3. Got eggs?

I got milk at the store because I wanted to make tapioca. :9



I forgot it needs eggs, too. x(

[Flaxbee]

5. OK, I'll send you a few eggs if you can give me a cup of milk

:) :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Done!

Just lemme find an envelope. :)

[Flaxbee]

13. OK, make sure it's a padded one so the milk doesn't get crushed

I'll do the same for the eggs. :) How many you need?

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. ...

:spray: :rofl:



One and a half. Thanks. :hi:

14. Make sure to seal it well so it does not leak in the tubes.

[Flaxbee]

20. good idea!

no internets tube leakage, check!

[jmm]

4. Do you have any club soda?

If you substitute that instead of milk they'll come out nice and fluffy.

[Flaxbee]

10. bugger. No club soda. Lots of cooking wine, but I don't think

that'll do. Kahlua, vodka, rice vinegar, sesame oil, rum, etc. No club soda. Hmph.

[havocmom]

22. Subsitute Scotch and soda and they flip themselves

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Yogurt is good. The Club Soda idea is good. A little bit of regular water is fine.

It's just pancakes, it's not rocket science.

[Flaxbee]

12. true, that

but I don't like to be disappointed :P I guess I'll try a water/yogurt mix and see what happens.

[mopinko]

8. you can make them with water.

they won't taste as good, but they will still be pancakes. maybe sweeten them up a little, and add a little butter. but i also concur with the suggestion to just thin the yogurt a little and use that. 1 to 1.

[Flaxbee]

16. OK, a water/yogurt blend it'll be, perhaps with a bit of melted

butter thrown in. I do have *real* butter, no substitutions accepted, so perhaps it'll all taste OK. Thanks!

15. do you have any powdered milk?

[Flaxbee]

19. no. I have a 25 lb bag of jasmine rice, some kim chee,

lots of vinegary condiments & soy sauce and stuff, and then eggs, yogurt, flour, sugar and syrup in the fridge. Lol! Well, the rice isn't in the fridge. My husband has sour-food cravings (kim chee) and I go for non-chocolate sweet stuff. :D

[havocmom]

23. Kim chee pancakes! My favorite

With soy sauce and wasabi peas.

[Robeson]

18. What about soy milk?....

...:D

[Flaxbee]

21. actually, I have a bit of chocolate soy milk, and a bit of

mocha soy milk. I really need to get my butt to the store. Wasn't really excited about chocolatey pancakes, though -
