List of Ingredients



• 3 egg yolks
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 3 tablespoons sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons clabber girl baking powder
  
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
  
• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  
• 3 egg whites
  
• Buttermilk
  
• Berry or maple syrup
  
• Fresh raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries (optional)
  






Instructions



1. In a large mixing bowl stir together the egg yolks and the 1 cup buttermilk. In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda; add to the egg yolk mixture. Stir to combine. Stir in the 1/2 cup buttermilk and the melted margarine.
   
   
2. In a mixer bowl beat egg whites till stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold beaten egg whites into flour mixture, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.
   
   
3. For each pancake, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. If batter is too thick to spread slightly when dropped onto a hot griddle, stir in 2 or 4 tablespoons additional buttermilk. Cook till pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and slightly dry edges.
   
   
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan warm syrup over medium high heat till heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve pancakes with warm syrup and, if desired, fresh berries. Makes 16 to 24 pancakes.
