- 1 Egg
- 150ml Milk or Soy Milk
Toppings (Optional)- Honey, to taste
- Butter, to taste

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, we’ll create a meringue to make your hotcakes extra thick and fluffy! Carefully separate the egg white from the yolk. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg white vigorously with a whisk until stiff peaks form. (Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely dry, as moisture can prevent the meringue from forming properly). A stiff meringue is key for that airy texture!
Step 2
Once you have a stiff, glossy meringue that holds its shape (it shouldn’t slide out if you tilt the bowl),
Step 3
gently add the reserved egg yolk
Step 4
to the meringue. Fold it in very gently with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue too much. You want to incorporate the yolk evenly throughout the whites.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift the 250g of hotcake mix. (Sifting helps remove lumps and incorporates air, leading to a lighter batter.)
Step 6
Pour the meringue and 150ml of milk or soy milk into the sifted hotcake mix,
Step 7
and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing develops gluten, which can make your hotcakes tough. Mix only until you no longer see dry flour streaks.
Step 8
Your batter should be thick but pourable. It should flow slowly, not too watery and not too stiff. (See photo for ideal consistency – it should drizzle gently.)
Step 9
Lightly grease a non-stick pan over low heat, then wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. Pour the batter onto the pan to form thick circles. Cook slowly over low heat until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles start to appear on the surface. This slow cooking ensures the inside is cooked through.
Step 10
Flip the hotcakes and cook the other side until golden. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like honey and butter for a truly delicious treat! Enjoy the wonderfully soft and fluffy texture. ♥
