Ingredients
  

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Butter (for greasing the pan)

Maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, separate the egg yolks and egg whites.

    Whisk the egg yolks with the milk and vanilla extract until combined.

      Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, and mix until smooth. Set aside.

        In a separate bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute.

          Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 5 minutes.

            Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.

              Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease with butter.

                Using a round mold (if available), pour a spoonful of the batter into the mold, then cover with a lid. Cook slowly for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

                  Carefully flip the pancake, cover again, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until both sides are golden and fluffy.

                    Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

                      Serve the fluffy pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit of choice.
