FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
• 2.   Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the sugar (similar to making meringue, see note at the end).
• 3.   In a separate bowl, mix the yolks until you have a smooth batter:
  - milk
  - vanilla
  - sifted flour
• 4.   Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the rest of the batter (mix well, no need to "not break the whites").
  
  The final batter should be light and airy.
• 5.   Grease a pan with butter using a paper towel.
• 6.   In the pan, make small circular "piles" with the batter.
  
  Preferably use an ice cream scoop (2 per pancake) to achieve a round shape.
• 7.   Cook covered for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes.

Notes & Suggestions

• To successfully make meringue, it is better to:
  - add the sugar gradually (in at least 3 portions)
  - have the egg whites at room temperature
  - use an electric mixer for easier beating.
