Step 1: Separate the Eggs

Carefully separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two bowls.

Step 2: Mix the Yolks

In the bowl with egg yolks add:

• Milk

Mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Make the Meringue

In the bowl with egg whites:

1. Beat the egg whites with a mixer.
2. Gradually add sugar.

This step creates the fluffy texture.

Step 4: Combine the Batter

Do not overmix or the pancakes will lose their fluffiness.

Lightly grease with oil or butter.
