Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
- 250 ml milk
- 3 large eggs
- 20 g unsalted butter
- 40 g raisins
- 10 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar (or extract), and lemon zest until creamy and pale in color.
Gradually add the flour and milk alternately into the yolk mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to over-mix to maintain the batter's fluffiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add half of the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour half of the batter into the skillet and sprinkle half of the raisins over the top.
Allow the pancake to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the underside is golden brown.
Using two forks, tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces, and flip them gently to cook on the other side until lightly golden, for about 2 more minutes.
Remove the pieces from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter and raisins, using the rest of the butter as needed.
Once both batches are cooked, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm with fresh fruit or a fruit compote of your choice.
