Pancakes (North American)

Zutaten

• 120 g (½ cup or 4 oz) wheat flour (white, whole grain or 1:1 mix of white and whole grain)
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 250 ml (1 cup or 8 fl oz) milk (substitute buttermilk or 1:1 mix of milk and buttermilk)
• 1 egg, separated
• 1 tbsp white sugar (optional; this will add a sweetness to your pancakes and is recommended if you are not using any sauces, syrups or ingredient such as bananas or blueberries that will add natural sugars to the mix)

Zubereitung

1. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together until well-blended.
2. Add milk and mix well until smooth.
3. Separate the egg, placing the whites in a medium bowl and the yolks in the batter. Mix batter well.
4. Whip whites until stiff and then fold into batter gently (skip this step for heavier pancakes or if 1 cup buttermilk is substituted for milk).
5. Pour ladles of the mixture into a non-stick pan, one at a time.
6. Cook until the edges are dry and bubbles appear on surface. Flip, then cook until golden.
