Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 60 ml milk (about 1/4 cup)
  • 45 g all-purpose flour (about 1/3 cup)
  • 30 g sugar (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil, for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully. Using a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form. This step is key to achieving the pancake’s signature height and lightness.
  2. Mix the Batter Base: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Gradually sift together the flour and baking powder, then gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix to keep the batter tender.
  3. Combine Batter and Egg Whites: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in batches, using a spatula and a gentle motion to maintain as much air as possible. This integration creates the soufflé effect that makes the pancakes puffy.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over very low to medium-low heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil. Spoon or scoop small mounds of batter into the pan, cover with a lid, and cook slowly for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping gently when the base is golden and bubbles appear on top.
  5. Serve Immediately: Stack your fluffy soufflé pancakes high and add your favorite toppings for an irresistible feast.

Notes

  • Use eggs at room temperature to whip egg whites more easily and achieve better volume.
  • Cook pancakes slowly over low heat to avoid burning while allowing the inside to cook through.
  • Fold batter and egg whites carefully to keep the air trapped and maintain fluffiness.
  • Use a ring mold for perfectly round and tall pancakes.
  • Use fresh baking powder and vanilla extract for the best rise and flavor.
