Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter:

  • 2 large eggs (separated)
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Optional Meringue Stabilizer:

  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar or lemon juice

For Cooking and Serving:

  • butter or oil for cooking
  • powdered sugar
  • fresh berries
  • maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: Whisk egg yolks, milk, and vanilla. Sift in flour and baking powder, mix.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine Batters: Gently fold meringue into yolk batter.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat skillet, grease, and cook batter in molds. Flip and cook until golden.
  5. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, top with berries, and drizzle with syrup.

  • Do not skip the meringue step—it’s crucial for the fluffy texture.
  • Serve immediately as they deflate quickly once cooked.
