Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups flour Provides structure and base; can substitute with gluten-free flour.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; no substitute necessary.
  • 4 large eggs, separated Yolks add richness while beaten whites create a light texture; can use flax eggs for a vegan alternative.
