Experience the unforgettable lightness of these cloud-like souffle pancakes, made without baking powder. The secret lies in perfectly whipped egg whites that make these pancakes airy, delicate, and delicious.
Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, setting the whites aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, milk, vanilla, and egg yolks until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed until they begin to thicken.
4
Slowly stream the sugar into the egg whites, continuing to whip until they hold stiff peaks but still look glossy.
5
Stir about one quarter of the egg white mixture into the pancake batter using a rubber spatula.
6
Gently fold half of the remaining egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate the air out of them. Repeat with the remaining egg whites until no white streaks are visible.
7
Heat a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat.
8
Pour approximately 1/4-1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, gently spreading it out to form a circle.
9
Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is lightly browned.
10
Cook until lightly browned on the other side, then serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200F oven if not serving immediately.
