What's a lazy Sunday morning without a big stack of buttery, syrupy pancakes? Here at Delish we take our flapjacks seriously.
We've eaten enough of them to know when they're worth the time and energy, and when you're better off with a bowl of cereal. Both our contenders this round—Derek Jeter and Gordon Ramsay—had particularly delicious pancake recipes, but only one can reign supreme. Read on to find out whose recipe takes the [pan]cake.
Derek's Recipe
What business does a pro baseball player have making pancakes? Who knows! This recipe means business though. Not ONLY are you whipping the egg whites separately from the yolks, you're also sifting ALL the dry ingredients. Fussy, fussy! We gotta admit, though, the end result was super fluffy and delicious. Home run!
Gordon's Recipe
Though Gordon's recipe is a bit more simple than Derek's, the egg white whipping still applies. In fact, most of Gordon's recipe mirrors Derek's with one addition: vanilla. A little added flavor goes a long way when it comes to pancakes, and our tasters loved the addition.
The Verdict
It was a tight race, but Gordon squeaked by with a victory! Now we know: vanilla is a MUST for all future pancakes. Derek, you're still MVP in our eyes!
