Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 4 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with a wire whisk.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together milk, butter, vanilla, and egg yolk.
  3. In another bowl, mix the egg whites and cream of tartar with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t over mix it.)
  5. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
  6. Preheat a skillet over low heat. Grease the inside of a baking ring and place it in the pan.
  7. Fill the ring halfway full with batter. Place the lid on top of the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
  8. Use a spatula to flip the pancake, and tongs to hold the mold in place while you flip the pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
  9. Serve with syrup and your choice of toppings.
