ingredients

1 cup sifted pastry or cake flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
2 egg yolks
0.66 cup milk, plus more as needed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon sugar

directions

In a large bowl, mix together the sifted flour, salt, and baking powder.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Stir just until the batter is combined.

In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. While whipping, add the sugar.

Fold the egg whites into the pancake batter. Add additional milk if needed for the right consistency (the batter should be a little thick but still pourable).

Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Add the batter to the skillet using a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the top. Flip the pancakes over and cook until done. Serve the pancakes hot with desired toppings.

  2. Al REVIEW:

    These were way to thin it did not work out well

  3. rogo REVIEW:

    I was very impressed by how fluffy these are. Good recipe for sure.

  4. 1973 REVIEW:

    Made these as directed and they turned out perfectly. Served them with some strawberries I had macerating in grand marnier and some whipped cream. It was a heavenly breakfast!

    I doubled the recipe so that it would be enough for my family and they did not turn out well at all. They were flat and moist, not light and fluffy. The ratio of eggs to flour seems to be too high.

    • Some recipes (particularly baking-type ones) do not double easily - some ingredients shouldn't be doubled. That may have been the problem.

    Made these pancakes for my picky 4 yr old grandson. He loved them. And, even said, "Thank You, Grandma." Made them exactly as directed. Then added about 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries. A total hit. Thanks for posting this one.
