Deli Cakes
Makes about 18 cakes
(Cooked like pancakes, but the stiffly beaten egg whites folded in make these unique. Also like a crepe. Incredibly light & tender, they are a perfect foil for creamed toppings or sweet fruit sauces.)

1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large or 3 medium eggs, separated
2 Tbsp. melted butter
2/3 c. milk
(1 Tbsp. sugar or honey, opt.)

Combine dry ingredients. Add beaten egg yolks, butter & milk. If you plan to use as dessert cakes, you may add the optional sugar or honey. Fold in beaten egg whites.

Drop in 3-4-inch rounds on greased & heated griddle. Brown lightly on both sides over medium heat.

Serve warm, topped with hot apple sauce flavored with cinnamon & nutmeg or with hot blueberries. Or serve with creamed mushrooms or ground ham, with sausages & of course with maple syrup. Or use to make strawberry shortcake.
