Notes
- When beating the egg whites, make sure you stop once soft peaks form. This this is when the peaks slightly fold back over when you lift them up with the beater. You don't want stiff peaks, which can result in dry, less fluffy pancakes.
- Don't overcrowd your skillet or griddle with pancake batter. Make sure there's enough room to easily flip each pancake.
- Freeze leftover pancakes on a large baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag and store for up to 3 months and reheat in the toaster oven or air fryer.
