Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Skim milk
- 3 units Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 for coating Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 100 grams Fresh berries
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually whisk in 300 milliliters of skim milk, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest into the batter and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk 3 egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan to form a pancake and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray as needed.
Serve the eierkuchen warm, garnished with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
