Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional, for stabilizing egg whites)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix until just combined.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites using a hand mixer. When foamy, add cream of tartar (if using) and sugar gradually. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold Gently: Add ⅓ of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture and fold gently. Then, fold in the remaining whites until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Cook Slowly: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease with oil. Spoon tall scoops of batter onto the pan. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden and set.
- Serve & Enjoy: Stack the pancakes high, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
- For taller pancakes: Use metal ring molds to help them keep their shape while cooking.
- Be patient: Cook on low heat to prevent burning while keeping them fluffy.
- Make it sweeter: Add ½ tsp of honey or extra sugar to the batter.
