The Hubby is a huge fan of pancakes. Me, not so much. But when I do cave in and make him a batch of pancakes, I like to use this recipe. They’re even great the next day cold as a snack! The key to making them that bit extra fluffy, is to whip the egg whites first and then fold them into the batter.
This recipe works well for waffles as well! To have waffles that match the homemade eggnog syrup, replace 1 cup of the milk with eggnog.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg separated
Instructions
- Whip the egg white until firm peaks form.
- Combine all the other ingredients, whisking to mix.
- Fold in the egg whites until completely combined.
- Set the griddle to 375°F and use a 1/4 cup scoop. Flip pancakes over when bubbles have formed.
