Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the batter: Start by separating the yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks with the milk and vanilla extract with a whisk until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture. Mix well.
  • Preparing the egg whites: In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Once they begin to form soft peaks, gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until you reach stiff peaks.
  • Combining the mixtures: Gradually add the egg-white mixture to the yolk mixture in four parts. Gently fold them together with a spatula. This step is key to achieving fluffy pancakes.
  • Frying the pancakes: Heat a pan and lightly mist it with oil, wiping off any excess oil with a paper towel. Ladle the batter and place two pancakes on the pan at once. Immediately pour a tablespoon of water into the pan and quickly cover it with a lid. The steam will give the pancakes fluffiness and prevent them from drying out. Cook the pancakes for 5 minutes over low heat.
  • Continuing to fry: After 5 minutes, add another tablespoon of batter to the pancakes, pour another tablespoon of water into the pan, cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes. After this time, remove the lid, carefully flip the pancakes, add another tablespoon of water and cover with the lid. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Serving: Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and transfer to a plate. Place a piece of butter on each pancake, add maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. If you like, you can also serve them with homemade cherry jam or another fruit topping to taste.
