👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🥚 Separate Eggs: Place egg whites in a large metal or glass bowl and yolks in a smaller bowl.
-
🥣 Mix Yolks: Add milk and vanilla to the yolks. Whisk until creamy ⮕ Sift in the flour and baking powder ⮕ Whisk until smooth with no lumps.
-
🌪️ Beat Whites: Use an electric mixer on the egg whites. Once frothy, add sugar gradually ⮕ Beat until stiff peaks form (the foam should stand straight up when you lift the beaters).
-
☁️ Combine: Gently fold 1/3 of the whites into the yolk mixture ⮕ Pour that back into the remaining whites ⮕ Fold very gently with a spatula so you don’t pop the air bubbles.
-
🔥 Cook: Heat a non-stick pan on the lowest setting. Lightly oil the surface.
-
🥄 Scoop: Pile 2-3 scoops of batter on top of each other to create height ⮕ Add 1 tsp of water to the empty spaces in the pan.
-
🥘 Steam: Cover with a lid and cook for 4–5 minutes ⮕ Flip very carefully ⮕ Add another tsp of water ⮕ Cover and cook for 3 more minutes.
