Recipe Introduction

"For birthdays and holidays, serve these light and airy pancakes. They take longer to prepare, but they make breakfast festive."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 4 large eggs, separated
â—¦ 1 cup all-purpose flour
â—¦ 2 tablespoons sugar
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon salt
â—¦ 1 cup milk
â—¦ 3 tablespoons sour cream
â—¦ ¼ cup melted butter


Recipe

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until lemony in color.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add yolks. Add milk, sour cream, and melted butter and mix well. In a medium bowl, with clean batters in the mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into batter.

Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray or brush with vegetable oil. Pour ¼ cup batter onto griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 minute longer. Serve with toppings of your choice.
