Ingredients
-
3 large eggs, separated
-
2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
-
1–2 tbsp heavy cream or 1 tbsp softened cream cheese (optional, adds richness)
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional: vanilla or sweetener if you’re “keto-carnivore,” but leave out for strict carnivore
Instructions
1. Prepare the egg yolks
-
In a bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks with heavy cream or cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add a tiny pinch of salt.
-
Set aside.
2. Make the meringue
-
In another bowl, beat the 3 egg whites until foamy.
-
Continue beating to stiff peaks—when the whisk lifts, peaks stand tall.
-
This is what gives the souffle pancake height.
-
3. Fold gently
-
Add 1 scoop of the egg whites into the yolk mix to lighten it.
-
Gently fold in the rest, keeping as much air as possible.
4. Cook low and slow
-
Heat a nonstick pan on low heat and melt 2 tbsp butter.
-
Add the batter, shaping it into a tall mound or two smaller mounds.
-
Cover with a lid and cook 4–6 minutes on low.
-
Carefully flip using a wide spatula.
-
Cover again and cook 2–3 more minutes until set and jiggly.
5. Serve
Enjoy warm, as is — or top with:
-
Whipped cream
-
Melted butter
-
A drizzle of cream (carnivore “syrup”)
⭐ Tips for Maximum Fluff
-
The lower the heat, the taller the pancake.
-
Don’t overfold — air = lift.
-
Add 1 extra egg white for even more height.
-
For a firmer souffle, add 1 tsp gelatin bloom (optional).
