Fluffy Pancakes

Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients:

    • 1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 cup (240 ml) milk

Directions:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until well blended.
    • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the milk and vanilla extract.
    • Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
    • Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
    • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter.
  • Pour about a tablespoon of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Serving Suggestions:

    • Top with maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
    • Serve alongside scrambled eggs and bacon for a hearty breakfast.
    • Add a dollop of yogurt and fresh berries for a lighter option.

Cooking Tips:

    • Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
    • Use medium heat to cook the pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the fluffiest texture.
