Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 electric mixer or hand mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 PVC piping rings or egg rings
  • 1 non-stick skillet
  • 1 lid for skillet
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • to taste Maple syrup or toppings of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • In another bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (usually about 3-5 minutes).
  • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions, being gentle to maintain the fluffiness.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease the bottom with butter.
  • Use the PVC rings to form circular shapes for the pancakes in the skillet. Fill each ring with the batter until about halfway full.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on low heat.
  • After 4-5 minutes, carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. Cover and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
  • Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat with any remaining batter.

Notes

For maximum fluffiness, make sure your egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks.
Adjust cooking time as necessary based on your stove and skillet.
Enjoy these pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for an extra treat!
