I have all the conventional baking ingredients except milk, and would like to make something brunchish. I could use yogurt as a substitute but would prefer not to. What is my most delicious option? Thanks!
Best answer: Agree with that you can easily leave out milk and add water instead for most baked goods. If you have baking powder how about pancakes?
Fluffy (vegan) pancakes
1 1/4 c flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 c water
1 T oil
Mix dry ingredients then add wet ingredients and mix just until mixed. Cook in skillet a few min per side.

Oh, I forgot! If you don't have syrup serve them with jam!

Best answer: Another vote for just substituting water and maybe a little extra fat. Googling for dairy-free baking recipes got me several results, including these muffins.

Best answer: Cook's Illustrated uses yogurt in their muffins instead of milk, and they're fantastic. I know you don't want to use yogurt as a substitute, but it's used on purpose here, to good effect.

Best answer: If you happen to have besan (chickpea flour) on hand, you could make a cromlet (crepe/omlette hybrid). They're super easy and delicious. I make them with just besan, water, eggs, and spices - usually cumin, salt, and pepper. I haven't made the full linked recipe with toppings, just the cromlet portion.

This oven-baked pancake in a cast iron skillet (but NOT a Dutch Baby, which is too fussy on timing) is my favorite brunch recipe, to avoid making individual pancakes, and will survive the missing milk just fine. I don't love blueberries the best, and really like dotting it with frozen strawberries or raspberries instead. If you have no fruit, use a little vanilla. You could use a brownie-sized baking dish if you don't have a suitable pan.
