Step 1
Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Whisk yolks with sugar until pale, ~2 minutes. Add flour and milk, stir until smooth.
Step 3
Fold egg whites into yolk mixture in two additions. Work gently; some white streaks are fine.
Step 4
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low until foamy. The heat must stay low to avoid burning the bottoms.
Step 5
Pour batter into 3-inch circles, leaving space between them. Cover with a lid and cook 5 minutes until bottoms are golden.
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.
Step 7
Stack two warm pancakes on a plate. Top with butter, jam, and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
