Alright boss, here you go. After a couple attempts at these, I've combined the ingredients from these two recipes. I'd suggest following my recipe, and watching the two videos at the links for some visual cues.

Here's what I'm working with, for 6 pancakes:

3/4 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extrac
1/2 c milk (plus more as needed)
2 egg yolks, whisked together
4 egg whites, beaten with an electric beater until they form stiff peaks
Cooking spray or butter

Whisk the dry ingredients together, then add the vanilla extract and milk and whisk again. If the consistency looks much thicker than in the video at the second link, add a little more milk.

Beat your egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. Fold thoroughly into your pancake batter.

Get your pan/griddle to med-high, spray or add some butter, then lay your three ring molds into the pan. Fill the molds halfway high with the batter. Cover the molds with a lid -- it doesn't need to cover the pan entirely, just the top of the molds.

Let the pancakes cook for 4 minutes -- they should rise considerably.

Using a thin spatula and a pair of tongs, flip your molds, being careful not to flip them too harshly (watch the video at the second link) The batter shouldn't fall out. Cook for four more minutes.

To remove from the molds, you'll just want to shimmy the cakes out with a thin knife, offset spatula, or similar.

Et voilà! Serve with warm maple syrup, fruit, whatever.

Just how much of this thread is Strat talking about puffins? I am wondering if it merits a subtitle status

This is the opposite of the opposite of being wrong.

Don't try to tangle with me, butt boy, I already embarrassed you twice in a week!

HAHAHA I'm not even remotely intimidated when it comes to the cooking threads! I'll cook circles around you while still posting!

Isn't this merangue?

Not exactly. Meringue has sugar, and then it's baked or torched.

Wait, Jorg, when else do you think you embarrassed me? When you tried to spin that ridiculous yarn about lowercase posting?

Breakfast tacos. Eggs, potatoes, onions, prosciutto, Parmesan and havarti cheeses

Except Jorge didn't say anything about your cooking, he was just disagreeing with you about the puffins subtitle. We all know you are an outstanding chef.

"Outstanding" is overstating my skills, and I believe "chef" should be reserved for those who execute a retail menu and direct a kitchen staff (which I kind of do, but not really)...I would say I'm a very good home cook.

Just let me have this one Ruddo! Plat's part of the 1%, and his bullying is an affront to the proletariat ranks of RM.

And let me just say for the record, I think you're all better than me.

I don't even have a concrete stance on whether Strat's Puffin talk should go on the thread title. I was asking a question. And also I wanted to call Trag "butt boy"

Where is the puffin talk, anyway?

this morning i toasted a whole wheat hot dog bun and put slices of omelette in it

not sure how i feel about myself

What kind of syrup did you drizzle on that?

none

i kind of felt like a serial killer and/or trucker that just woke up at a rest stop

I would have gone with Aunt Jemima.

Oats with banana and pecans
