Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together until well-blended.

  2. Step 2

    Add milk and mix well until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Separate the egg, placing the whites in a medium bowl and the yolks in the batter. Mix batter well.

  4. Step 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. Step 5

    Pour ladles of the mixture into a non-stick pan, one at a time.

  6. Step 6

    Cook until the edges are dry and bubbles appear on surface. Flip, then cook until golden.
