INSTUCTIONS:
- Beat egg white powder, using a hand blender or stand mixer, on high speed with 1/4 cup (60 mL) water for 2 to 3 minutes or until whites hold a stiff peak. Stir one-third of the whites into the prepared pancake batter until well combined. Gently fold remaining whites into batter until only a few streaks remain.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until small bubbles begin to form and pop on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Hold cooked pancakes in a low, warm oven until ready to serve. Garnish with an assortment of your favourite toppings before serving.
