Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Separate the eggs into two bowls: place the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the sugar, salt, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually sift the flour into the yolk mixture, whisking gently to create a smooth batter.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture. This step is key for fluffy pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
