Ingredients

Flour: The base of your batter that gives structure. Mix gently to keep pancakes soft, not tough. Sugar: Adds a light sweetness and helps create that golden-brown finish. Eggs: Separate for best results. Yolks add richness, while whipped egg whites create airy, fluffy pancakes. Baking Powder: Helps the pancakes rise and stay light. Use fresh for the best lift. Vanilla Flavor: Adds a warm, sweet aroma and enhances the overall taste. Milk: Brings everything together into a smooth, pourable batter with a creamy texture.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can make the pancakes tough instead of soft.
Make sure no egg yolk gets into the egg whites, because even a little yolk can prevent them from whipping properly.
Always use fresh baking powder so your pancakes rise well and stay fluffy.
Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, as this is what gives the pancakes their light, airy texture.
Fold the egg whites gently into the batter to avoid losing the air you’ve created.
Do not press the pancakes while cooking, as this will flatten them and remove their fluffiness.
Cook on low to medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
Flip only when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
The batter should be thick but still pourable for the best texture.
