  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)

  • ½ cup heavy cream (for whipped cream)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls.
  2. Add milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in the yolk bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Mix in flour and baking powder until smooth.
  4. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually adding sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture gently in three parts.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat, grease lightly, and spoon dollops of batter into the pan.
