Cooking with Colm O'Gorman: The lightest, fluffiest pancakes - perfect for Pancake Tuesday

These pancakes are like a hug on a plate. A stack of these with some blueberry compote, maple syrup crème fraiche and some toasted flaked almonds scattered over the top will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. Have some crispy streaky bacon on the side as well if you fancy it. That is always a good idea, the perfect combination of sweet, savoury, and salty, perfect for your weekend family feast.

The key to making light and fluffy buttermilk pancakes is to fold well-whisked egg whites into the batter just before you make your pancakes. This will give your pancakes a lovely rise and a beautiful light and airy texture. If you cannot get hold of any mascarpone cheese, you can use ricotta instead. That will also be delicious, but mascarpone is a bit creamier than ricotta and works beautifully in this recipe.
