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.
