Step 1

Grab a large bowl and make sure it is clean and grease free.

Step 2

Separate 4 egg whites into the large bowl and pop it in the freezer for about 10-15mins. Split 2 egg yolks in another mixing bowl, and the remaining 2 yolks can be kept in the fridge for other recipes. We're only using 2 egg yolks in this recipe.

Step 3

Add milk and vanilla extract into the bowl with 2 egg yolks.

Step 4

Add sifted flour and baking powder and mix well. Don't overmix it.

Step 5

Set aside.

Step 6

Take the bowl from the freezer.

Step 7

Add cream of tartar and salt to the mixture.

Step 8

Now beat the egg white mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 secs until it turns frothy.

Step 9

Then slowly add your sweetener in thirds and turn on your electric mixer to the highest speed.

Step 10

Beat the egg whites until it's smooth and glossy. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. It will take about 3 minutes. Make sure to not overbeat it.

Step 11

Now fold the meringue into the flour mixture in thirds. Mix well but do not overmix it

Step 12

Heat up 1 or 2 large pans over low heat (or the lowest heat on gas stove). Grease your pan(s) lightly with oil and wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. If you have two large pans then you can make all 6 pancakes in one go.

Step 13

Scoop 2 large (almost overflowing) tablespoons of the mixture to the pan for each pancake, making 3 pancakes each pan.

Step 14

Cover it for about 5 mins. Then add another 1 tablespoon of the mixture on top of the pancakes. Don't spread the mixture sideways if you want thicc pancakes. Stack it up high!

Step 15

Add about a tablespoon of hot water to the pan and then cover it to let it steam for another 5 mins.

Step 16

If you have any extra batter, stack it on top, add more hot water, then steam it for another 2 mins or so.

Step 17

Then open the lid and gently flip the pancakes over. Add more water to the pan and cook the pancakes for another 4 mins.

Step 18

Your pancakes are done! Add your favourite toppings, whipped cream or maple syrup. Dust some sugar free powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
