Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ cup guava puree
  • 2 eggs (separated)
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons:
  • Whisk or Spoon:
  • spatula
  • non-stick skillet or griddle

Method
 

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients Together in a Medium Mixing Bowl: 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  2. Add in 1 ½ cup milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 egg yolks, ¼ cup guava puree, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Stir until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat two egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Continue to mix and add in ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar. This will give the pancakes their light, fluffy texture.
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites with cream of tartar into the batter using a spatula. This step will help create the light, airy texture typical of chiffon pancakes.
  6. Heat the griddle over medium heat (300 degrees). Make sure your baking temperature isn't too high.
  7. Spread butter over the top of the griddle or spray with a non-stick spray.
  8. Pour batter on the griddle and heat until bubbles are formed on the first side. This will take 2-3 minutes at the most.
  9. Once you can see several bubbles, they are ready to flip.
  10. Flip the pancakes over and cook for about one more minute.
Take them off the griddle and serve warm.
  1. You can top them with maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, or honey.
