Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (fluffed, spooned, and leveled)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Oil (any neutral oil for cooking)
  • Sweetened whipped cream
  • Assorted berries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Maple syrup
  • ½ cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (more or less to your preference)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with milk, vanilla extract, and optional lemon zest. Whisk until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and vinegar. Stir gently until just combined.
  2. Whip the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine mixtures: Fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture carefully, being gentle to maintain the volume.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Preheat your non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with oil. Use a large spoon or a measuring cup to scoop the batter and form tall pancakes. Cover with a lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  5. Whip cream (optional): For sweetened whipped cream, whip the cold heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, and set aside.
  6. Serve: Stack the pancakes high, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

These pancakes are best served immediately with fresh toppings. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
