Easy Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
There’s nothing quite like starting the day with a tall stack of light, golden, and perfectly fluffy pancakes. Soft on the inside, slightly golden on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, these pancakes are the kind of breakfast that instantly brightens your morning. What makes this recipe special is the simple method: whipping the egg whites until glossy and folding them into the batter.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs room temperature, separated
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp milk
- 6 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Oil for greasing the pan
- For serving: maple syrup honey, or agave syrup, plus fresh blueberries and raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients – Separate the egg yolks from the whites into two bowls. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
- Make the Batter Base – Whisk the egg yolks until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, alternating with milk, until you have a smooth batter.
- Whip the Egg Whites – Add salt to the egg whites and beat until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Fold and Combine – Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk batter in small portions, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Cook the Pancakes – Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease with oil. Scoop batter to form round pancakes, cover with a lid, and cook for 3–4 minutes until bubbles form. Flip carefully, cover again, and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and fluffy.
- Serve – Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with syrup, and top with fresh berries. Serve warm.
