Recipe By ひかりママ＊

Tools needed: Griddle, large circle cookie cutters, mixer

Ingredients

• 4 Eggs
• 32 Grams Granulated Sugar
• Dash of Cream of Tartar (optional)
• 8 Grams Mayonnaise 
• 12 Grams Lemon Juice
• 32 Grams Whole Milk
• 92 Grams All Purpose Flour
• 6 Grams Baking Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Pam Oil for griddle and cookie cutters
• Powdered Sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

1. Separate the yolks for the whites and be sure to not taint any of the whites with the yolks.
2. In a bowl add in the 4 yolks, 8 grams mayo, 12 grams lemon juice, and 32 grams of milk, and whisk it together.
3. Add in 92 grams  all purpose flour (sifted), 6 grams of baking powder,  and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a mixer or a clean bowl add in the egg whites, and a dash of cream of tartar, mixing with a whisk attachment until foamy. Gradually add in the 32 grams of sugar, sprinkling it in and whipping until stiff peaks. May take 6-10 minutes. This mixture is called a "meringue" and we want it at stiff peaks when its thick, glossy, and does not wobble on the whisk when shook.
5. Fold the meringue into the yolk batter 1/4 at a time very gently.
6. Heat the griddle to low heat. Spray some oil onto the inside of the cookie cutters, and onto a griddle. Pour batter into the the cookie cutters, 3/4 of the way.
7. Flip pancakes using a spatula and an oven mitt or towel.
8. Gently press the edges of the pancakes out of the mold
9. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.
