🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3 large eggs, separated
✓ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
✓ 3 tablespoons whole milk
✓ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
✓ 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
✓ 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ Coconut oil for cooking
✓ Fresh berries for topping
✓ Greek yogurt for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Separate eggs carefully, ensuring no yolk gets into whites. In a small bowl, whisk yolks with melted butter, milk, honey, and vanilla until well combined.

2. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into the yolk mixture until just combined; set aside.

3. In a large clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This is crucial for the fluffy texture.

4. Gently fold egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Fold until just combined with some white streaks remaining.

5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly coat with coconut oil. The key is low heat to cook through without browning too quickly.

6. Spoon batter onto skillet in 1/4-cup portions, creating thick pancakes. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden, then carefully flip.

7. Cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The center should be slightly jiggly.

8. Stack warm pancakes and serve immediately with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of honey. Serve while still fluffy for best texture.
