Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 large Whole egg
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven as it preheats to warm it up.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and whole egg until frothy.
Add the low-fat milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and well blended.
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and immediately place the dish back into the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. The pancake will deflate as it cools.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pancake and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice into portions and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
