Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
  2. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until smooth with the yolks.
  3. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture, then mix until combined.
  4. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks are reached.
  5. Fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three increments, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add some butter.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, swap milk for almond milk. You can also add flavor variations like matcha or cocoa powder.
