Separate the egg whites from the yolks.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, milk, and vanilla until combined.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined.

Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter.

Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat and grease lightly.

Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan, and if using, place a ring mold around it.

Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
