Tips
- Hold the whisk correctly to avoid arm fatigue during long whisking jobs.
- Add lemon juice to egg whites to elongate whipping time without splitting.
- Stabilize the egg white mixture with corn starch.
- Gently fold in flour and salt to maintain air in the mix.
- Add a touch of milk to help the fluffy batter connect with the pan.
- Cook pancakes low and slow.
- If you don't have a pan lid, use a plate or bowl that fits over the top to mimic a steamer.
- Do not shy away on the glaze.
