2. In another bowl, whisk milk, melted butter and egg yolks (wet ingredients)
3. Beat egg whites separately till stiff peaks.
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry flour mixture to make a batter. Do not over-stir
5. Fold in egg whites.
6. Heat skillet or flat pan with a little oil over medium heat. Preferably use non-stick skillet.
