Ingredients

  • 3 whole egg yolks
  • 3 whole egg whites
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 320°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Whisk egg yolks with milk, flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, ~3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fold egg whites into yolk mixture gently in two additions, keeping it airy—do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low until melted. Pour batter into 3-inch circles (three per pancake stack).

  6. 6

    Cook on stovetop for 2 minutes until bottoms are pale golden, then transfer skillet to oven.

  7. 7

    Bake 10-12 minutes until tops are fluffy and set but centers still jiggle slightly when shaken.

  8. 8

    Remove from oven. Stack three pancakes per serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
