After the 10 minutes, whisk egg yolks into mixture. Add liquid
mixture all at once to flour mixture and stir along with melted
butter until just incorporated. Do not overmix – small lumps will
remain.
In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold
half of egg whites into batter to lighten it. Then gently fold in
remaining half. Gently fold in berries.

stove. When water drops splatter pan is ready. Ladle 1C batter into
pan being sure to get even amount of berries in each pancake and move
berries around to evenly distribute. Pancake should be pan sized.
Turn pancake when puffed and golden brown and multiple bubbles
have appeared. Be sure pancake has had enough time to set before
turning, since larger pancakes take longer to cook through in center.
