About this recipe
This recipe produces pancakes that are light and airy, achieved by combining basic ingredients like flour, egg, and milk. The batter is folded rather than over-mixed to preserve its fluffiness. They are best enjoyed straight from the pan, stacked high with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. For variation, you can fold in blueberries or chocolate chips before cooking.
