Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- Applesauce or fruit jam (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks into the batter. Stir the yolks into the batter until combined.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter with a spatula, being careful not to deflate them.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the raisins over the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and set. Then use a spatula to divide the pancake into quarters and flip each section to cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Once the pancake is fully cooked through, use a spatula to tear it into bite-sized pieces directly in the skillet.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss the pieces gently to caramelize slightly, cooking for another 2–3 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with applesauce or fruit jam on the side, if desired.
