Recipe View 2 mins Carefully remove the ring molds using tongs or a spatula. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks and folded in gently.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Low and slow is key! Cooking over low heat ensures the pancakes cook through without burning.
Don't overcrowd the pan – work in batches if necessary.
Serve immediately for the best texture, as they tend to deflate slightly as they cool.

    I struggled a bit with flipping them in the molds, but the end result was worth it! Next time, I'll try using a thinner spatula.

  • Sabina Ondricka

    This is definitely going into my regular rotation. Thanks for sharing!

  • Ismael Bogisich

    Make sure your egg whites are STIFF! Mine weren't stiff enough and they came out flat. Still tasted good tho!

  • Katlyn Simonis

    These pancakes were a huge hit! My family loved how fluffy and light they were. The ring molds really made them look impressive.

  • Ole Hodkiewicz

    The recipe was easy to follow, and the pancakes turned out perfectly. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
