Deli-Cakes

Cooked like pancakes, but the stiffly-beaten egg whites folded in make these
cakes unique. Incredibly light and tender, they are a perfect foil for
creamed toppings or sweet fruit sauces, and the contributor’s own invention.


½ cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 large or 3 medium eggs, separated

2 tablespoons melted butter

2/3 cup milk

1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)


Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg yolks, and add along with
butter and milk. If you plan to use as dessert cakes, you may add the sugar
or honey. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into mixture. Drop in 3” – 4”
rounds on greased and heated griddle. Brown lightly on both sides over
medium heat. Serve warm, topped with hot applesauce flavored with cinnamon
and nutmeg, or with hot blueberries. Or serve with creamed mushrooms or
ground ham, with sausages, and of course,with maple syrup. Or use to make
strawberry shortcake.


Makes about 18 cakes.
