Ingredients
- 4 œufs
- 1/4 tasse lait entier
- 1/2 tasse farine tout usage
- 2 cuillères à soupe de sucre
- 1/2 cuillère à café extrait de vanille
Instructions
- Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently add the flour and sugar to the yolk mixture, mixing until just combined. A few lumps are okay; don't over-mix.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being gentle to keep the air in.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat (about 160°C or 320°F). Use an egg ring or mold if desired for even shapes.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- The pancakes are done when they are slightly golden and fluffy. If a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, they’re ready.
- Serve immediately with your choice of fresh fruits, syrup, or whipped cream.
