Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk yolks with sugar until pale, ~2 minutes. Add flour and milk, stir until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Fold egg whites into yolk mixture in two additions. Work gently; some white streaks are fine.

  4. Step 4

    Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low until foamy. The heat must stay low to avoid burning the bottoms.

  5. Step 5

    Pour batter into 3-inch circles, leaving space between them. Cover with a lid and cook 5 minutes until bottoms are golden.

  6. Step 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. Step 7

    Stack two warm pancakes on a plate. Top with butter, jam, and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
