Family Secret Pancakes! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sifted flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 egg yolks
milk, for thinning
2 egg whites

Preparation

Sift dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, set aside.
Crack and separate 2 eggs, reserve egg white and yolk in separate bowls.
Add 2C milk and the vanilla to the reserved egg yolks. Whisk briefly to combine. Add mixture to dry ingredients until batter-like and well-mixed.
Add milk for thinning until desired consistency for pancake density is achieved.
Whisk egg-whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Fold this gently into batter, taking care not to over-mix. There will be lumps! This is the secret to the fluffiness of the pancake.
Heat a frying pan on medium-low. Spray with non-stick of choice or melt small tab of butter to prevent sticking. Ladel out desired amount, less for smaller cakes. Cook approximately 2+ minutes, or until bubbles form and pop in the centre. Flip, and cook an additional minute, or until golden.
Serve with butter and syrup. Or butter and peanut butter and syrup -- or strawberries and whipcream -- or add chocolate chips and go crazy with whatever else!
