Perfect Pancakes

"These pancakes are like the pancakes you'd get at a restaurant for breakfast because they're nice and fluffy with a slight sugary flavor. The egg whites give it an airy texture, and it really only takes a couple minutes more effort for a delightful pancake. I found this recipe in Family Circle February 2009. They suggest dropping 6 blueberries onto each round just before you flip it or sprinkle a little ground flaxseed for a nutrient boost."

  • Separate eggs and whisk egg yolks in small bowl with milk and oil.
  • With an electric mixer, beat egg whites to stiff peaks, about 1 minute.

  • Fold in egg whites in two additions until no white streaks remain.
  • Using a ladle, drop 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter onto heated griddle.

  • Cook 1 minute or until bubbles in batter pop and remain open.
  • Carefully flip pancakes and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  1. I found this in Family Circle also and it's a GREAT recipe! I replaced 1/4 cup flour for ground flaxmeal. The whipped egg white technique actually made me want to try this recipe. We loved this recipe as well as my 9 month old baby. Thank you for posting!!

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
