Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pancakes:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Butter (for greasing)
- For Serving:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites into two large bowls.
- Whisk the Yolks: Add sugar to the yolks and whisk until the mixture turns pale and creamy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Sift in the Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold Gently: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat and grease it lightly with butter. Use a ring mold to spoon the batter into the mold. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the pancakes to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, add whipped cream, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks.
- Cook the pancakes over low heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
