These are so pretty and great for a healthy Weekend breakfast treat:
A light as a cloud, honey pancake that has whipped egg white folded in for extra oomph.
This recipe, though simple, is proving to be THE most pinned and posted recipe that I have ever done. It seems to be very popular as a Gluten Free breakfast option. Just swap the plain flour for GF flour and souffle away!
To make a single serving pancake you will need:
- 1 large egg and 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup of warmed milk
- 1/4 cup of flour (plain will do, I used 00, or you can use GF)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 1 dash of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Soft fruits
- Honey
- Heat the oven to 200°C (which I gather is around 392°F)
- Heat a small 6″ oven proof frying pan
- In one bowl whisk one egg white until it is white and peaky
- To make the main batter, in another bowl, mix the the other whole egg with flour, salt, honey, and vanilla then whisk in the warm milk
- Gently fold the egg white into the batter with a metal spoon
- Melt one tablespoon of butter in the hot pan
- Pour the batter in and cook on the hob (stove top) for a few minutes until starting to set at the very edge
- Sprinkle some fruit on top
- Bake the whole lot in the hot oven for 7 minutes until puffed up and golden
- Drizzle with honey
Double it all up and use a full size pan if you want to share.
Buoyed by the success of these beauties I made a Winter Souffle Omelette then I made this caramel apple cloud version and then someone even Painted it!

I’m sorry, I really don’t know blog etiquette, I looked and didn’t see it, but I was curious the calorie count for 1 pancake.
Thank you so much!

These are so beautiful and look absolutely delicious! Forgive my ignorance, but what sets an oven-proof frying pan apart from a regular frying pan? I’d love to try these but have a very basic kitchen. Thanks!
thingswemake.co.uk
February 22, 2012
Hi Jenny, thanks for your comment. It’s just one that doesn’t have any plastic bits that will melt in the oven. Mine is a heavy non-stick (Circulon) one, and it does have a plastic-y handle but it seems to be ok in the oven for 7 minutes, I wouldn’t leave it in too long though, just in case.

sounds good, looks pretty. want to try..
i have a question though, do you flip the pancake at all before putting it in the oven?
thingswemake.co.uk
February 23, 2012
Hi there, no, don’t flip it, a hot oven will rise it and make the top golden too.
Trying my best....
February 23, 2012
Can you use a round pan? Or does it need to be a frying pan? Also, with the second egg, do you use the whole egg or just the egg white?
thingswemake.co.uk
February 23, 2012
I’m sure any (non stick) pan would do! I just used the egg white for the second egg, but I have also made this with just one egg, making the batter with the yolk, then folding in the whipped white, that works well too!

Just made this, but used maple syrup instead of honey, and sadly, a container of egg whites, rather than the lovely fresh eggs you report about. Also used a TON of raspberries. It was fantastic…highly recommended! AND way easy… so fat and happy right now (*sigh*)…

In the receipe you have add “second egg”…do you mean the yokes or do you just whip
1 egg white?
This sounds like German Pancakes…but better!
Thank you
Dena
thingswemake.co.uk
March 11, 2012
Hi Dena. The second egg is one whole egg. So this recipe uses one white (whipped) and one whole egg mixed in the batter.

I made it today, It tasted great but it didnt look at fluffy as your picture any advice?
thingswemake.co.uk
March 12, 2012
Hi Diana, I can only suggest that your egg whites might not have been peaky and meringue-like, that you lost the air when you folded them in, or that your oven was not hot enough to puff up the batter. Mine lift up like a soufflé in the hot oven. I hope it was still nice

thingswemake.co.uk
March 20, 2012
The hob is what you might call the ‘gas’ or the ‘stove top’ I guess. An I’d go for 400 degrees, you just need a lot of heat to make it souffle up. Thanks for the comment!

I’m making these for Easter brunch (having tried and loved it myself already) but was wondering if I’m making for a big group can I make a big one in a larger pan or should I just go with making a lot of singles? Has anyone tried making it for more than 1?

Hi Caroline, I made a double one in a full size frying pan, but it was not so lovely and poofy! If you make lots of little ones though, they will collapse if they sit waiting. Perhaps you get a camping stove and make them at the table…to order

I pinned this recipe a few months ago on Pinterest, but have been in the middle of a kitchen remodel and haven’t been able to cook. My kitchen is finally done and this is one of the first things I made. I am not even a fan of pancakes, but your pictures made this a must try. Delicious! My only regret is that I only it for myself and nobody else could see how good it turned out! I will definitely be making this again.

2. Do these pancakes freeze and reheat in the mictowave well?

Hi Melissa. I’ve not tried egg white only, but it would probably be ok. I would not freeze them. They need to be served fresh.

I made it this morning with gluten free all purpose flour and it was really good. I don’t think my egg white was meringue like yet. Wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be but I was white with tons of bubbles. Thought I whisked it too much? I used strawberries and bananas and it was delicious just not as fluffy as the picture. Next time I will work on my egg white whisking haha.

You say this makes one serving? As in one pancake? If I wanted to make 6 pankcakes, how many eggs would I need? I’m not sure how much “double it up” means when it comes to the number of pancakes because other recipes just use 2 eggs and can still make 6+ cakes. Also, would I need to put them in the oven? Is there a taste/texture difference or could I just let them get puffy on the stove top?
thingswemake.co.uk
March 27, 2013
Hi, yes, it’s one large (or two small) servings in a small frying pan. It’s the oven that souffle’s it up, this would not work just on the stove-top. I would advise that you try a single one first and see how you go before you try to cook for 6. Plenty of people have made it different ways though…look back through the comments to get an idea.

Hi Sid! It should be like a souffle perhaps with some streaks of white and cream colour. I wonder if you perhaps folded in the whites for a little too long. Glad you liked it.

Thank you so much for sharing! I used gluten-free all-purpose flour (and cream since I realized at the last minute that we were out of milk). My husband just got diagnosed with a gluten allergy and it was the first gf recipe that I’ve made that we didn’t wish was using regular flour. It was just plain amazing!
