Method

  1. Before you start, ensure the eggs are fridge-cold. Separate the eggs into 2 bowls. Whisk the yolks, flour, milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt together until smooth.
  2. Beat the egg whites for 4-5 mins with an electric whisk to form stiff peaks. Whisk in the sugar, 1 tsp at a time, until you have a voluminous, glossy meringue. Use a metal spoon to gently fold ⅓ of the egg white into the yolk mix to loosen, then fold in the remaining whites.
  3. Brush the oil over the base of a lidded nonstick frying pan on a low heat. Spoon 6 tall mounds of batter into the frying pan. Drizzle 1 tsp water onto the base of the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 mins undisturbed until lightly golden on the base and the sides are bouncy to touch. Carefully turn over, add another 1 tsp water, cover and cook for 7-10 mins until the batter has set. Undercooking can cause the pancakes to deflate, so be patient.
  4. Serve immediately with passion fruit and a drizzle of fruit coulis, if you like.
  • Tip: Cook the pancake batter straight away and over a low heat to ensure a tall soufflé.
