Yvonne's Extra Light and Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup sifted all purpose, pastry, or cake flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

½ tablespoon baking powder

2 egg yolks

¾ cups milk, more or less

4 tablespoons butter, melted

2 eggs whites

1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

  1. Sift the dry ingredients together.
  2. In another bowl, mix the yolks, most of the milk, and the melted butter together until smooth.
  3. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the mixed well ingredients all at once. Stir until just combined. (over-mixing will make for a tough pancake.)
  4. Beat the egg whites until light and fluffy and soft peaks appear as for meringue. Add milk as necessary to get the right consistency.
  5. Cook as you would other pancakes.
