Instructions
Prepare the Batter:

Notes
For extra fluffiness, you can separate the egg yolk and egg white, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form, and fold it into the batter.
If you prefer sweeter pancakes, feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or extra honey to the batter.
You can use low-calorie syrup or Greek yogurt as a topping for an added protein boost.
