Buttermilk pancakes, properly thick

Ingredients

• 250g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 350ml buttermilk
• 2 eggs, separated
• 40g melted butter

Method

1. Whisk the dry ingredients. Separately whisk buttermilk, yolks and butter.
2. Combine barely — lumps are correct. Overmixing is what makes them flat.
3. Whip the whites to soft peaks and fold them through.
4. Cook on a medium pan; wait for bubbles to open before turning.
