Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Butter or oil (for cooking)
- Maple syrup and fresh fruit (for serving)
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl along with the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, then sift them together.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, stirring gently until fully blended.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks are reached.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three parts, maintaining the airy texture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Gently flip the pancakes, cover again, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until fully puffed and cooked through.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Notes
- Ensure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks for the best fluffiness.
- Cook on low heat to prevent burning while allowing the pancakes to puff up.
- Experiment with different toppings like whipped cream or berries.
