Ingredients
- 4 whole eggs, separated
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- ¾ cup whipped cream
Instructions
- 1
Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
- 2
Whisk yolks with sugar until pale, ~2 minutes. Add flour and milk, stir until smooth.
- 3
Fold egg whites into yolk mixture in two additions. Work gently; some white streaks are fine.
- 4
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low until foamy. The heat must stay low to avoid burning the bottoms.
- 5
Pour batter into 3-inch circles, leaving space between them. Cover with a lid and cook 5 minutes until bottoms are golden.
- 6
Flip gently and cook 2 more minutes until the tops are set but the centers still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan.
- 7
Stack two warm pancakes on a plate. Top with butter, jam, and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
