INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 3 cups milk

• 2 eggs (separate yolks from whites)

• 1/2 cup of heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl: flour, baking powder, salt and sugar

2. Melt butter then whisk with all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl: milk, egg yolks and vanilla

3. Gently fold dry ingredients mix in the wet mix. Make sure not to over mix. You now have a pancake mix!

4. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt on another bowl until it becomes whipped cream, then fold in the pancake mix

6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides

8. Serve hot! You can add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream; your stomach will thank you for that addition lol

As usual, make sure to let us know how it went.

Bon Appetit,
