Best Pancakes Ever

Pre-heat griddle to 350-375 degrees. Spray generously with cooking spray.

Mix or sift flour, sugar, and baking powder, salt and allspice.

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, beat egg YOLKS, milk, and oil.

Add yolk mixture to flour mixture. Gently stir 12 times. Walk away! It’s ok…just walk away!

In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with whisk attachment to beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

GENTLY fold in egg whites into the batter in two batches, and GENTLY mix until white streaks are gone.

Pour about 1/4 cup (more if you like huge pancakes) onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry; about one minute. (These pancakes do not bubble as much as other pancakes, so don’t use that as a measure of done-ness). Flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds.

Now, to make it absolutely heavenly, throw in about 1 1/2 cups mashed banana while you are GENTLY mixing. If you really want to get crazy, sprinkle some pecans on them just after you put them on the griddle. Truly amazing.
