Separate eggs, putting the egg whites in a small bowl, and the egg yolks in a large bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
Add the sugar, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg yolks and whisk to combine.
Sift the remaining dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Clean your whisk thoroughly with soap and water. Then, whip the egg whites until very soft peaks form.
Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten egg white into the batter.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat or fire up your pancake griddle.
Coat your pan or hot griddle thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
Measure out 1/4 cup batter to form each pancake.
Cover and cook pancakes until the top is just set, little bubbles form all the way through to the center of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown --roughly 2-3 minutes.
Flip each pancake and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
Serve these tender pancakes immediately, topped with your favorite pancake toppings (in our house, depending on the pancake consumer, either real maple syrup, chocolate chips, or melted butter). What's your favorite way to enjoy this delicious pancake recipe?
