Grandpa's Cabin Pancakes

Grandpa's Cabin Pancakes are perfectly fluffy pancakes. This recipe has been in my family for decades and it's stood the test of time. These pancakes are just barely sweet and would be amazing with fruit or chocolate added into the batter.

Course Breakfast
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 16 pancakes

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 eggs separated
  • 1 2/3 cups milk I used whole
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about five minutes. Set aside.

  2. Beat together the egg yolks, milk and oil until well mixed. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Sift the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir until combined. Fold in the egg whites.

  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, ladle 1/3 cup scoop of batter onto the pan. Watch closely, when you see bubbles and the edges look dry, flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional minute. You may have to reduce the heat as you proceed.

  4. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup or whatever is your favourite pancake toppings.
