Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Batter: Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls. Whisk yolks with milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Gradually add flour and baking powder until smooth. In another bowl, add white vinegar to egg whites and beat until frothy. Slowly incorporate sugar until stiff peaks form.
  2. Fold in the Meringue: Fold one-third of meringue into yolk mixture. Then gently fold in remaining meringue in two additions, keeping the batter airy.
  3. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a nonstick pan on low heat, around 285°F to 320°F. Lightly grease with oil and wipe excess off.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Portion batter into 2-3 tall mounds. Cover pan with a lid to trap steam and let cook for 7-8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove pancakes and serve warm with whipped cream, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or syrup.
