Cloud-Like Pancakes Classic (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Batter Components

01 - 2 cups regular flour (240g)
02 - 2 tablespoons white sugar (25g)
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs, whites and yolks divided
06 - 1¾ cups full-fat milk (420ml)
07 - 4 tablespoons plain melted butter (56g)
08 - 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
09 - Additional butter for the pan

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Stir flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a big bowl until they're totally mixed.
02 - Put egg whites in a clean bowl and keep yolks separate. Beat those whites with your mixer until they form soft peaks, usually takes around 2 minutes.
03 - Put milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla in another bowl and stir until everything's mixed up.
04 - Add your wet stuff to your dry stuff and stir just enough to mix them. Don't worry about lumps - they're actually good!
05 - Carefully fold your beaten egg whites into your batter with a rubber spatula.
06 - Warm up a griddle or big pan over medium heat and brush a little butter on it.
07 - Drop ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Let them cook until you see bubbles on top and the edges look firm, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them gently and cook another 1-2 minutes until they're golden.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Those lumpy bits in your batter create tiny air pockets while cooking, making your pancakes extra fluffy.
02 - Try buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangy flavor and softer texture.
03 - Toss in fresh blueberries or chocolate chips right after pouring batter on the griddle for tasty options.
