These fluffy griddle pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic flannel cakes, offering a light and airy texture with a rich flavor.
Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a lump-free batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled to prevent cooking the egg yolks.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the batter.
Fold gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
A non-stick griddle works best for even cooking.
Pour batter onto the griddle, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Use a ladle for consistent pancake sizes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Classic toppings include maple syrup, butter, and fresh fruit.
