Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Preparing ingredients
Separate the egg whites and yolks into different bowls. Refrigerate the egg whites for 10 minutes: the cold helps to achieve a perfect meringue.
2. Creating the base:
Mix the egg yolks with milk and vanilla. Incorporate the sifted flour with the baking powder until you obtain a smooth, lump-free batter.
3. The secret to fluffiness:
Beat the egg whites with lemon juice at medium speed. When they form foam, gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form that don't fall when you invert the bowl.
4. Careful Integration
: Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture. Add the remaining meringue in two parts, mixing gently to avoid deflating the meringue.
5. Perfect Cooking
Heat a non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Grease with butter and pour in the batter using a measuring cup or round mold. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
