Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (fluffed, spooned, and leveled)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a clean bowl and the yolks in a large bowl.
- Add milk, vanilla, and lemon zest to the yolks, whisking until smooth.
- Sift flour and baking powder into the yolk mixture and whisk until just combined.
- Combine vinegar with egg whites, beat until foamy, then gradually add sugar while continuing to whisk until glossy and thick.
- Fold the meringue into the yolk mixture in thirds, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat, lightly oiling the surface.
- Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving space between each scoop, and cover with a lid.
