How to Make Canadian Pancakes

Stop making pancakes from a mix. Canadian pancakes require just a few ingredients and melt in your mouth. The secret to Canadian pancakes is whipped egg whites in the batter, which makes them lighter and less doughy than American pancakes. Of course, Canadian pancakes should be served with real maple syrup.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• Medium-size mixing bowl
• Large glass bowl
• Cooking spray
• Griddle
• Large soup ladle

1. Mix the flour and baking powder together in a medium-size mixing bowl. Whisk milk and egg yolks into the mixture until it is a creamy texture.

2. Whip the egg whites in the glass bowl until they are thick enough to form peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter evenly until thoroughly mixed in. Be careful not to over mix.

3. Oil the griddle lightly over medium heat. Test if the griddle is ready by dropping 1 tsp. of water onto the heated griddle. If water bubbles immediately and steams, the griddle is hot enough.

4. Ladle 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and pop in the batter and edges on the underside turn golden brown. Turn over the pancake over and cook another minute until the other side is golden brown.

5. Add more ladles of batter onto griddle approximately 1-inch apart. Flip and remove the pancakes as they are done. Serve pancakes hot with real maple syrup.

Tips & Warnings

• Make a test pancake by dropping 1 tbsp. of pancake batter onto griddle. Flip after the bubbles form and pop. If the pancake sticks, oil the griddle a bit more before pouring on more batter. If the pancake burns, turn down the heat on the griddle.
