Authentic pancakes like the one you eat in the US, very fluffy texture with a special tip: let the dough rest for 30 minutes before adding the whipped egg whites. You won’t stop making them once you have tested this recipe that’s really easy and great … for your brunch, breakfast or a snack, everyone will love them … Also use this recipe to make blinis (without sugar) or use this other blinis recipe made from buckwheat flour. In general, those who like pancakes also like the recipe for light waffles or chocolate rolled crepes!

My recipe is very lightly sweetened (you could totally remove sugar from the recipe), but also use sugar substitute like maple sugar, agave and so on. I also like to eat my pancakes with maple sirup on top, which adds sweetness.
Add fruits or chocolate chips : It’s fun, you can add blueberries (fresh or frozen) or slices of banana, or chocolate pieces on top of your pancakes when you start baking them, then flip them around, fruits will caramelize and chocolate will melt, it’s so yummy !
Eat them later : clearly if you want to keep your pancakes moist and squeeshy for the next day, wrap them into cling paper. When you’re ready to eat them, 10 seconds in the microwave will make them brand new, or 30 seconds in the toaster.
Freeze them ! No problem at all, you can freeze your pancakes (cooked and wrapped or in a ziplock bag) for up to 3 months. Same as above, you can reheat them in the microwave or use your toaster. 5 minutes at 350°C F will also do the trick.
Replace milk for a lactose-free version: of course ! I’ve tested with almond or soy milk, it works fine. Coconut milk also.
Whisk your egg whites… You don’t have to but I highly recommend doing this to get fluffier pancakes. Within minutes, by hand or with a hand mixer, you will get firm eggs whites to add to your batter.
Prepare the batter ahead ? You can do that one day ahead, but 2 things : cover your batter with some cling paper that touches the batter, and do not add the egg whites, wait the moment you are ready to cook your pancakes to do so.
