- 2 large eggs
- 150 g milk
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- Chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
Instructions:
- Separate the Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the Yolks: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, then gradually stir in the flour and baking powder (if using).
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Rest the Batter: Let the pancake batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
