Separate your egg yolks from the egg whites and place the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat your egg whites until they turn completely white and stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk to combine.
Combine the flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl, then pour the mixture into the bowl containing the wet ingredients and mix together. Do not overmix, you will want some lumps to be visible.
Add the beaten egg whites to the pancake batter and gently fold them in with a rubber spatula.
Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees and grease with butter.
Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot griddle to form each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and let the pancake cook through.
Serve with additional butter and maple syrup for topping.
