Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Handheld electric mixer
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (measured by weight or using the spoon and sweep method*)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (*)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (*)
  • 1 large egg (separated)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or a little butter (for pan greasing)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolk, butter, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined--batter will look a little thick.
  • Heat griddle to 350°F or skillet to medium heat.
  • While your griddle heats, in a small bowl, with a handheld electric mixer, beat egg white on high until stiff peaks form--the egg should be bright white, and when beaters are lifted out, peaks should stand straight up.
  • Fold egg white into the batter with a baking spatula, being careful not to overmix and deflate the egg.
  •  Once your cooking surface is hot, lightly grease, and drop on slightly heaping 1/3 cups full of batter (if making in a skillet, you will have to cook in two batches) and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface of your pancakes. Flip and cook until done.
  • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
