Flash in the Pan

I've been playing around on and off, trying to find a pancake recipe I liked. After making a number of changes here and there in what I saw, the family voted this one a keeper.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 3 TBS. sugar (reduce to 2 TBS. if using a sweet syrup)
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1 1/8 cup milk
• 2 TBS. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. Put butter and milk into microwave-safe container and heat until butter melts. Heat large pan or griddle over high heat.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
3. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. In another medium bowl, lightly beat egg yolks until mixed.
4. Add milk and butter mixture to egg yolks, mixing constantly.
5. Add milk and egg yolk mixture to flour mixture and gently mix until completely combined.
6. Folk egg whites into batter, taking care not to deflate the whites.

Cook the pancakes. Yields about 15 3-inch pancakes. (Definitely enough for four people.)
