These pancakes are very fluffy and are essentially a meringue folded into a simple yolk batter. Be sure to get the meringue very strong, and be gentle with the folding. The parchment paper rings can be awkward so feel free to go freeform without them, […]
There is an interesting cooking method in this recipe: hot oil poured over ingredients in a bowl. This dish can get a little too oily, it’s a careful balance and more can always be added.
