Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil.

Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin layer.

Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2-3 minutes.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Serve the pancakes warm with honey, fruit preserves, or fresh fruit.
