Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, whites separated from yolks
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. butter extract optional
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • unsalted butter for skillet or griddle

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a large measuring cup (4 cups or larger) or a medium bowl, whisk milk, egg yolks, vanilla and butter extract together.
  • Make a well in the center of flour mixture and pour in the milk and egg mixture. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in melted butter. In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until they begin to stiffen. Fold egg whites into mixture.
  • Heat skillet over medium low heat. Add a small amount of butter to skillet. Pour or scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle. I typically do 1/4 or 1/2 cup, depending on how big I want them.
  • When bubbles start to form, and bottom is slightly golden brown, carefully flip pancakes and brown the top. Repeat until all batter is used.
  • Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
