Almond Buckwheat Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup flour, sifted
1/2 cup buckwheat flour, unsifted
1/4 cup ground almonds, about 1 oz
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup skim milk
vegetable oil cooking spray

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the flours, almonds, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a large glass measuring cup, stir the egg yolks and oil into the milk and blend with a fork. Add to the flour and stir until just moistened.
In a clean medium size bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer set on high speed until they are stiff but not dry; gently fold them into the batter.
Lightly coat a 12-inch non-stick skillet with the cooking spray and set over moderate heat. When the skillet is hot, cook the pancakes four at a time, using 1/4 cup batter for each. Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on one side or until bubbles form on top of the pancakes; turn, then cook about 1 minute longer until brown.
