Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until well blended.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the milk and vanilla extract.
Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter.
Pour about a tablespoon of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Serving Suggestions:
Top with maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Serve alongside scrambled eggs and bacon for a hearty breakfast.
Add a dollop of yogurt and fresh berries for a lighter option.
Cooking Tips:
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Use medium heat to cook the pancakes evenly without burning.
Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the fluffiest texture.
