For Cooking
Instructions
Step 1
Separate the *egg whites* and *yolks*. Melt the *butter* until liquid but not browned.
Step 2
Combine the *egg yolks*, *salt*, and *sour cream* in a bowl. Stir well until smooth. Add the *milk* and melted *butter*, mixing thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Sift the *flour* and *baking soda* into the mix. Stir until the batter is smooth and no clumps remain.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the *egg whites* with *sugar* until they form stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whites into the batter until just combined.
Step 5
Heat a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of *vegetable oil*. Pour about a *quarter cup of batter into the pan and tilt to spread evenly. Cook until the edges start to curl and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat with remaining batter.*

Variations
Gluten-Free & Vegan Variations 🌿
For a gluten-free option, replace the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the flour blend you choose also includes a binding agent, like xanthan gum, to give your pancakes the right texture. 🌾✨
If you're going vegan, no problem! Substitute the eggs with a mixture of chia seeds or flaxseeds mixed with water (use one tablespoon of seeds soaked in three tablespoons of water per egg). Instead of sour cream, opt for a vegan alternative, and replace the dairy milk with almond or oat milk. Remember to choose a plant-based butter or oil for that essential creaminess. 🥥🌰 These swaps will keep your pancakes deliciously fluffy and plant-friendly! 🥞💚
Faq
- Why are my pancakes not fluffy?
Ensure you've correctly whisked your egg whites to stiff peaks; this is crucial for fluffiness. Also, avoid over-mixing when you fold them into the batter.
- How do I prevent my pancakes from sticking?
Make sure your skillet is well-greased with vegetable oil and heated properly before adding the batter. A non-stick skillet can also help greatly.
- Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes, the batter can be made a few hours in advance. However, for best results, whisk the egg whites and fold them in just before cooking.
- What is the best way to separate the eggs?
Crack the egg and gently transfer the yolk between the halves of the shell, letting the whites drip into a bowl. Consider using an egg separator for a foolproof method.
- Can I add fillings to these pancakes?
Absolutely! Once you've poured the batter into the pan and it's started to set, you can sprinkle in chocolate chips, nuts, or fruits for extra flavor.
- How do I ensure the pattern shows on the pancakes?
Use a moderate heat and a lightly greased pan. Heat too high can cause burning, while too much oil can impact the pattern's appearance.
