Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
• Powdered sugar or maple syrup, for serving

Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Egg Whites and Yolks: Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg yolks in one bowl and the egg whites in another.

2. Mix Yolk Mixture: Add milk and vanilla extract to the egg yolks. Whisk together until well combined. Gradually add the flour, whisking until smooth.

3. Beat Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

4. 

   Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture in thirds. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; the batter should be light and fluffy.

5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add a little butter. Scoop the batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cover with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden and the top is set. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

6. 

   Serve: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately for best results.

Nutritional Value and Pairings

These soufflé pancakes are not only a feast for your taste buds but also offer a balance of proteins and carbohydrates, mainly from the eggs and flour. Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like Vitamin B12 and selenium. However, because of their light, airy nature, they are lower in calories compared to traditional pancakes, making them a delightful treat that doesn’t weigh you down.

For a complete breakfast experience, pair these soufflé pancakes with fresh berries or a mixed fruit salad to add a burst of fresh flavor and additional vitamins. A side of crispy bacon or sausage can complement the texture and provide extra protein. For drinks, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of hot coffee or tea works perfectly to round out this indulgent breakfast dish.
