I like pancakes occassionally but these could change my mind, light fluffy and delicious. I had no idea what cake flour was and used self raising and whipped my egg whites to stiff peaks and folded into the rest of the mix and got 17 pancakes. Making in future would do a half mix but will make again, thank you Jubal Harshaw, made for Pick A Chef.

This is an amazing pancake recipe and possibly one of the best ones I've ever tried. I was confused by the directions including ingredients listed out of order and whether or not to whip the egg whites to soft or stiff peaks. I also added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract but will omit it next time as the pancakes didn't need it. I do think though that the next time I will decrease the amount of all-purpose flour and increase the cake flour. The pancakes don't need much maple syrup either. In fact, I ate these for breakfast and lunch today. Thank you for posting the recipe.

Very nice pancake recipe, loved how light they came out and I knew this would be a winner when I noticed the beaten egg whites and was I ever right. I did have to add a little more flour to get the right consistancy as mine was very thin. Once I did that, they fluffed up great, made plenty and now I've put some in the freezer to see how they do when reheated. The recipe takes a few more steps than some of the other recipes I've seen, but so worth it. Thanks Jubal, we really enjoyed this.
