Recipe

• 2 for the pancakes, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl and work with a fork to remover any lumps. beat the egg whites with the milk and slowly incorporate the flour mix. make sure you achieve a smooth batter.
• 3 heat some butter in a frying pan (10 cm diameter) and ladle in some batter - depending on how thick you like your pancakes. (for this recipe and the yield of 10 pancakes, i made them to american-style thickness). sprinkle some pear over.
• 4 leave to cook over medium heat until little crates appear all over the pancake - a sign that the baking powder is making the batter rise and the bottom should be cooked enough for you to flip the pancake over.
• 5 carefully turn the pancake and cook on the other side until golden brown.
