Pancake Batter Ingredients






Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder together. This will ensure that the leavening agent is evenly distributed which is crucial for the fluffiness of the pancakes.
Step 2
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in separate mixing bowls. This is an important step to achieve the airy texture in your pancakes.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to whip until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Be sure to do this carefully to maintain the volume.
Step 4
In the bowl with the yolks, add the milk, salt, and the sifted flour with baking powder. Mix until just combined, but do not over mix.
Step 5
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep as much air in the batter as possible. This will make your pancakes fluffy.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it. Spoon the batter into the skillet in small rounds, making them tall rather than wide. You may cover the pan with a lid to help them cook through. Adding a bit of water to the skillet can help steam the pancakes for an even fluffier texture.
Step 7
Once cooked, serve your fluffy pancakes warm with your favorite jam or sour cream. Enjoy each delightful bite of these airy treats!

Variations
Faq
- What if my pancakes don’t rise?
Make sure you’re beating the egg whites to soft peaks before folding them into the mix. This is crucial for that fluffy texture!
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter fresh for these pancakes. The beaten egg whites can lose their airiness if left for too long.
- How can I prevent my pancakes from browning too much?
Cook them on lower heat and cover with a lid to allow even cooking without excessive browning.
- Can I use other types of milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk, oat milk, or any alternative of your choice will work well.
- What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on the skillet or microwave before serving.
- Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes! Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Simply reheat and enjoy whenever you crave a treat!
