Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs separated
  • cups 188g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons 25g granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups 295ml milk
  • 3 tablespoons 42g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra butter for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Separate the eggs, placing whites in a clean, dry bowl and yolks in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the egg yolks and whisk until well combined.
  • Sift flour and salt into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix - a few small lumps are fine.
  • Beat egg whites with clean beaters until stiff peaks form (whites stand up straight when beaters are lifted).
  • Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula. Maintain as much air as possible.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat.
  • Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  • Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Flip and cook other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes more).
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!
