Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are foamy. Gradually add in the sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Add the flour, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the egg white mixture. Slowly whisk in the skim milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Prepare a medium-sized ovenproof skillet (about 10 inches in diameter) by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet, making sure it is spread evenly.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Once baked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts.
Allow the pancake to cool slightly before serving.
Top with fresh fruit or berries as desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-fat Dutch pancake!
