  1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Whisk together yolks, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth. Gradually sift in flour and baking powder, stirring gently.
  2. In a clean bowl, combine egg whites with vinegar. Beat on medium speed until frothy then add sugar gradually until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining meringue in two parts until no streaks remain.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and grease with neutral oil. Use a ladle to place 2-3 mounds of batter onto the skillet. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes.
  5. Gently flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until fluffy and golden on both sides.
