In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Grease a non-stick pan and place it over low heat. Use greased ring molds for tall, round pancakes.

Perfect for special breakfasts, brunches, or dessert, these pancakes pair well with whipped cream, syrup, or fresh fruits.
03 -
The key to their light texture is whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently folding them into the batter.
