I can’t guarantee the results for the pancakes because I’ve never tried alternatives in my recipe, but you can alternate the flour for gluten-free flour. You can also try switching out the milk for a plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk. I believe there are vegan options to make meringue. If you find one you can definitely let us know in the comments and tell us how the pancakes come out. I am always here for a healthy substitute and creating versatile recipes that anyone can use.
How To Make Fluffy Soufflé Pancakes
PANCAKE BATTER: Start by separating the egg whites from the egg yolks into two small bowls. In order to ensure your egg whites whip properly for the meringue, try your best to make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites in this process.
We’ll create the base of the batter first with the egg yolks by adding milk, vanilla extract cinnamon, nutmeg.
Then sift the flour and baking powder in a another bowl and slowing add to the egg yolk mixture.
MERINGUE: Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until it’s frothy and opaque. Add granulated sugar to the egg whites and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form.
Combine meringue with egg yolk mixture to create batter. Gently fold in meringue in parts to keep air bubbles and maintain thickness or the batter. Make sure not to over-mix the batter to over flat pancakes.
PANCAKES: Heat up a large non-stick pan with a lid and melt some butter.Scoop your batter onto the pan, cook for a minute, add a tbsp of water, cover with lid, and let cook for 2-4 moire minutes. Flip pancakes and cover with lid to cook the other side through.
Now it’s time for the fun part. Customize your pancakes. Grab your plate, and add as many toppings as you like. This day I made a Mixed Berry Compote and you can recreate the recipe . Then I added some powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
It was delicious, soft, and fluffy and I hope you enjoy this pancake recipe as much as I did. Enjoy!
