Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) buttermilk (or milk + lemon juice substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, tossed with 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep the strawberries: Toss sliced strawberries with 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside to macerate (5 minutes).
  2. Sift dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon if using (2 minutes).
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth (3 minutes).
  4. Whip egg whites: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer or hand whisk (4-5 minutes).
  5. Combine wet and dry: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; batter should be lumpy (2 minutes).
  6. Fold in egg whites and strawberries: Gently fold whipped egg whites in thirds, then fold in macerated strawberries and juices (3 minutes).
  7. Heat skillet: Preheat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease (2 minutes).
  8. Cook pancakes: Pour batter onto skillet using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden (4-5 minutes per batch).
  9. Serve immediately: Stack pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup or extra strawberries, and enjoy.

Notes

Whip egg whites separately for extra fluffiness and fold gently to keep air in the batter. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Do not overmix batter to prevent tough pancakes. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
