quark & pancakes

Old Fashion Pancakes
(adapted from Alice Water's The Art of Simple Food)
1 1/2 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup of milk
4 tablespoons melted butter

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks and mix with the milk. Slowly pour the milk and yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Add the melted butter to the batter.

Beat the egg whites until it forms a soft peak. Slowly pour the egg whites into the batter and fold into the mixture.

Heat the griddle under a low-medium flame and grease it up with butter. Add the batter and cook until golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until done.

Top with warm maple syrup (and if you're lucky, a dollop of quark).
