Breakfast
Ingredients:
- 65 g Egg white
- 5 g Lemon juice
- 25 g Granulated sugar
- 5 g Cornstarch
- 35 g Egg yolk
- 35 g Cake flour
- 3 pinches Salt
- 15 g Milk {
Instructions:
- Prepare all the ingredients and tools:* Sift cake flour and salt together.* Apply a little oil to a non-stick pan and spread it thinly with kitchen paper.* Start heating the pan at low heat so that the pan is preheated enough when pouring the batter.
- Add lemon juice to the egg whites and whip until bubbly like soap. Add half of the sugar and whip until the tip folds over when lifting a whisk. Add the remaining sugar and continue whipping it until stiff peaks - the tip should stand straight when lifting a whisk. (See the image below.)
- Add cornstarch and mix well until it doesn't look lumpy.
- Add yolks and stir roughly until about 50% is blended. Take off a whisk.
- Add the sifted flour and salt and fold with a rubber spatula until you don't see any flour.
- Add milk and fold until evenly blended. Pour it into a piping bag right away. (You can also use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon.)
- Pipe a little over half of the pancake batter into the preheated pan to make four pancakes. Stack the batter high vertically to make the thick pancakes. Add a few teaspoons of water, close the lid, and cook for about 3 minutes. Do not open the lid during the process.
- Add the rest of the batter on top of each, stacking vertically again. Add another few teaspoons of water, close the lid, and cook for another 4 minutes. (The cooking time can vary depending on the stove, pan, etc. Adjust accordingly. Judge with eyes to be most accurate.)
- Flip them gently once the sides near the bottom of the pancakes feel dry. (Applying a little oil on a cooking spatula makes it easier to flip them without hurting the bottom of your pancake.) The surface should look golden brown. Add a few more teaspoons of water, close the lid, and cook for about 4 minutes.
- Take them out when the sides feel dry and bouncy. Enjoy with your favorite topping while they are warm!
