4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.

5. Scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.

6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, separate the egg whites and whip them to soft peaks before folding them into the batter. You can also add a splash of lemon juice to the batter for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
