Jamie Oliver's Fluffy American Pancakes

These fluffy American pancakes from Jamie Oliver feature a batter made by folding stiffly beaten egg whites into a mixture of flour, baking powder, egg yolks, and full-fat milk. Cooked briefly on a non-stick pan to a golden-brown finish, the pancakes rise light and airy, offering a tender, soft texture that contrasts with a slight crispness around the edges. They are served with honey, banana slices, and chopped walnuts for complementary sweetness and crunch.
