Easy Peach Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
• Peach flavored syrup (optional) for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This step is crucial for achieving those fluffy pancakes.
5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pancake batter, taking care not to deflate them.
6. Fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they’re distributed evenly throughout the batter.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray.
8. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean towel while you cook the remaining batter.
