Servings:4 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour, spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teapsoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups dairy milk
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 large egg yolk, plus 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a second bowl stir together milk, melted butter, vanilla or almond extract, and the egg yolk.
- In a third bowl whip the egg whites and cream of tartar 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter until just incorporated (do not overmix).
- Preheat a deep skillet with a lid over low heat and spray the inside of a 3-inch baking ring (I used three rings at a time) with nonstick spray and place in the preheating pan.
- Fill each ring halfway full with batter. Place lid on the pan and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Slide a spatula underneath to life the pancake and ring and use tongs to quickly flip it over. Allow to cook another 2-3 minutes until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately topped with syrup and powdered sugar.
Notes
- If you are whisking the eggs and cream of tartar by hand, I suggest first moving the whisk back and forth through the egg whites and cream of tartar till you see some foam. Then whisk them in a circular motion by hand until the whites have formed stiff peaks.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, but will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
