Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups milk room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 egg whites whipped to stiff peaks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, combine milk, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter gently to preserve the airiness.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and pour in pancake batter to form small, thick rounds. Cover the pan and cook until bubbles appear and the edges are set, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden, another 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately with syrup or toppings of choice.
Notes
For best results, serve these pancakes freshly made and hot. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
