LIGHT AND FLUFFY VEGAN PANCAKES
I've been experimenting with recipes I've found online and in cookbooks when I came upon this DELICIOUSLY MOUTH WATERING recipe while searching for a better breakfast to feed my extremely picky family. My mother actually loves them which is amazing because she doesn't like anything vegan. They are super light and fluffy, not to forget extremely quick and easy to make. I am 100% positive you'll enjoy them as much as we do. :)

LIGHT, FLUFFY AND RICH PANCAKES
Basic pancakes are simple to throw together and are guaranteed to delight a crowd. But go one step further, separating the eggs and beating the whites, and you turn the ordinary pancake into something almost soufflé-like. These also contain ricotta, for extra richness that doesn't weigh the pancakes down.

Steps:
- Beat together the ricotta or cottage cheese, sour cream or yogurt and egg yolks. Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in batter.
- Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle or skillet and coat surface. When it is hot, add batter by the heaping tablespoon, making sure to include some egg white in each spoonful. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook second side. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use buttermilk or yogurt: Buttermilk or yogurt adds a tangy flavor and helps to make the pancakes light and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk or yogurt, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, which will also help to make the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will cook too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Conclusion:
Making light and fluffy pancakes is easy if you follow a few simple tips. Use buttermilk or yogurt in the batter, don't overmix the batter, let the batter rest, cook the pancakes over medium heat, and flip them only once. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pancakes every time.
