Ingredients
All-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (sifted)
Granulated sugar
1/3 cup
Baking powder
2 teaspoons
Salt
1/8 teaspoon
Skim milk
1 1/2 cups (at room temperature)
Corn oil
2 tablespoons
Egg whites
2 (beaten until stiff peaks form)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the skim milk and corn oil. Stir gently until just moistened; be careful not to overmix as this can make the pancakes tough.
3
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This adds fluffiness to your pancakes.
4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pancake batter, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
5
Preheat a greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Once the griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the surface.
7
Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Gently flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
8
Serve your fluffy pancakes immediately with fresh strawberry garnishes and a warm drizzle of real Vermont maple syrup for a truly special breakfast experience.
