# What You'll Need:
→ Batter Ingredients

¼ cup plain flour
02 -
½ teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
03 -
2 large eggs, separated
04 -
¼ teaspoon baking powder
05 -
½ teaspoon vanilla (optional for flavor)
06 -
Zest of one lemon (optional)
07 -
2 tablespoons milk
08 -
2 tablespoons sugar
09 -
Oil with no flavor for greasing
→ Extra Toppings
10 -
Fresh berries of your choice
11 -
Powdered sugar for dusting
12 -
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
13 -
Maple syrup to drizzle
→ Whipped Cream (Optional)
14 -
½ cup chilled heavy cream
15 -
1 tablespoon sugar
16 -
½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Carefully split the eggs into two different bowls. Make sure there's no yolk in the whites.
02 -
In the bowl with yolks, mix in milk, vanilla, and lemon zest (if you're using it). Whisk it together. Add sifted baking powder and flour, and stir until smooth.
03 -
Using a handheld mixer, whip the whites on medium until they foam up. Add vinegar or lemon juice during mixing, then slowly sprinkle in the sugar. Keep whipping until stiff peaks form.
04 -
Add part of the fluffy whites to the yolk mixture and carefully fold them in with a spatula. Repeat with the rest of the whites. Don't stir hard—you want it light and airy.
05 -
Warm up a nonstick skillet over the lowest heat. Grease it lightly with oil, then dollop the mix into tall mounds using a scoop or large spoon.
06 -
Cover the pan with its lid and cook the batter piles for around 7–8 minutes. Check for a golden brown bottom before flipping.
07 -
Carefully flip the pancakes. Cover and cook for another 5–6 minutes until the sides are golden and they're firm all the way through.
08 -
Mix chilled heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla (if using) in a pre-cooled bowl. Whisk it until peaks hold their shape.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Always use grease-free bowls and tools for whipping egg whites.
02 -
Fold meringue in gently so the batter stays fluffy.
03 -
Low heat is key—take your time.
04 -
For the best results, serve your pancakes right after cooking.
