Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar for serving
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving

Cook and Prep Times

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter
    Whisk egg yolks, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl. Then, sift flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until smooth.

  2. Beat Egg Whites
    Whip the egg whites until foamy, then add sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter without deflating it.

  3. Cook the Pancakes
    Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and grease with butter. Using a ring mold, pour the batter, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 4-5 minutes.

  4. Serve
    Gently lift the pancakes out of the molds and arrange them in a neat stack on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup or honey.

Pro Tips

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, make sure your egg whites form stiff peaks before folding them in.
