Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs Separated into whites and yolks
  • 2 tablespoons milk Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Sifted
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder For leavening
  • 2 tablespoons sugar For sweetness
  • Butter for cooking To grease the skillet
  • Powdered sugar for serving Optional topping
  • Maple syrup for serving Optional topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls.
  2. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the milk and vanilla extract, whisk until well combined, then sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
  3. Using a mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and continue to whip until stiff and glossy.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the airy mix.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add butter.
  2. Spoon a portion of the batter into the skillet for each pancake, cover with a lid, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and risen.
  3. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Transfer your fluffy pancakes to a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
Serving
  1. Serve with maple syrup or your choice of toppings.

Notes

For the best results, use room-temperature eggs. Cooking on low heat may take longer but yields the best texture. Explore various toppings like seasonal fruits or chocolate syrup to enhance flavors.
