Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil, for cooking
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, lemon syrup, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs and place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl.
  2. Beat the egg whites with 1 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar, milk, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Sift in the flour and baking powder, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in 2–3 batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  7. Scoop thick rounds of batter into the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 3–5 minutes per side, or until golden and puffed.
  8. Carefully flip and cook the other side until done. Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Serve warm with powdered sugar, lemon syrup, or toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • Use ring molds for extra height and perfect shape.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent burning and allow the pancakes to cook through slowly.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding egg whites—fold gently for fluffiness.
