    Fluffy Pancakes

    Instructions
     

    • Separate the egg, placing the white in one medium bowl and the yolk in a large bowl.
    • Add milk, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the egg yolk. Whisk until completely combined. Slowly whisk in the cooled melted butter while whisking quickly.
    • Place a sifter on top of the yolk mixture and sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
    • Gently stir with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks.
    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate them.
    • Lightly grease the skillet with a paper towel. Pour one ladle of batter (about ½ cup) into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3 minutes, until the edges start to set and bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 3 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet each time if needed.
    • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.

    Notes

    How to Store:
    Pancakes are best when freshly cooked. Store cooked pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until hot.
    How to Freeze:
    Let the pancakes cool completely. Place parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack them. Wrap the stack tightly in aluminum foil or place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    To reheat, preheat oven to 375°F. Place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until hot. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds bursts.
