Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- ½ dl milk
- 1 dl wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ dl granulated sugar
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions:

Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into separate bowls. Place the egg whites in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
-
Whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla sugar. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt through a fine mesh sieve.
-
Whisk the frozen egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy foam forms. Add sugar and whisk until you get a meringue.
-
Gently whisk half of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the rest with a spatula so the batter still has an airy consistency.
-
Fry the pancakes in a frying pan with a lid over low heat in butter or oil.
-
Serve with fresh berries, mascarpone, lemon zest, and syrup or top with cream and chocolate sauce for a more luxurious version.
Tip! For extra fluffy pancakes, add a little more pancake batter on each pancake once they have cooked a bit.
