Extra Egg Pancakes

From OSR

This recipe can be found in Mark Bitman's How to Cook Everything (he's got a website as well), which I much prefer over The Joy of Cooking as an all-around go-to book for American cooking.

These pancakes are made with more eggs than usual, which I like, and the egg whites are beaten to make the pancakes lighter.

Ingredients

4 eggs, separated, whites beaten

Wet Ingredients

yolks from the separated eggs

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon sugar (more if you like them sweet)

Dry Ingredients

1 cup flour (all-purpose)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

dash of salt

Directions

Mix the wet ingredients together and the dry ingredients together, then combine the two mixtures. Fold in the beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in the batter. Cook as you would pancakes (lightly brown on both sides).

If you want to add fruit, it's best to add it as a topping, although I do occassionally add a small amount of banana.
