Whipped egg whites make these pancakes light in texture and give them extra height.

To make the pancakes on the cover, add chocolate chips to the batter; top with strawberries and more chocolate chips.

There are no leavening ingredients in these pancakes, so they stay super thin and flat, like a crepe.

Buttermilk adds moisture and tangy flavor to these pancakes; baking soda helps with even browning.
