2) Beat egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form; fold into flour mixture.

3) Fill a large iron skillet 1/8-inch deep with oil; heat over medium-high. Add flour batter by the tablespoon onto skillet; cook until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes total. Remove and drain on paper towels while cooking the rest. Serve warm with desired toppings.
