How to Make Mom's Fluffy Pancakes

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat (approximately 350-375°F).
  7. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Serve immediately with butter and real maple syrup.
