Ingredients
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (or lemon juice)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon neutral oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
1. Separate the eggs. Place egg whites in a clean bowl and egg yolks in another.
2. To the yolks, add milk and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
3. Sift in cake flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
4. Beat the egg whites until frothy, then add cream of tartar.
5. Gradually add sugar to the whites and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
6. Fold one-third of the meringue into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
7. Gently fold in the remaining meringue in two parts, being careful not to deflate the batter.
8. Preheat a nonstick pan on low heat and lightly grease it.
9. Spoon tall mounds of batter into the pan. Add extra batter on top for height.
10. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes.
11. Gently flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
12. Transfer to a plate and serve with whipped cream, fruit, or syrup. Enjoy warm and jiggly.
Notes
Be sure to use room-temperature eggs to achieve maximum volume when whipping.
A nonstick pan and a lid are essential for even cooking and perfect rise.
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain fluffiness and height.
