Ingredients
- 1 Pure Flavor® Alonna™ Canary Melon, divided
- 3 large eggs, whites & yolks separated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- Fresh mint, for garnish
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Butter, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Whisk together the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 2
Halve the melon, scoop out the seeds, remove the rind, and dice into small cubes. Set aside half of the diced melons and blend the remaining until smooth.
Step 3
Whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla, melon puree, and egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined.
Step 4
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in one-third of the beaten egg whites to the flour-milk mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
Step 6
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with cooking spray. Pour ½ cup of batter into the pan, once bubbles begin to form, flip over. Continue until all batter is used.
Step 7
Serve immediately with the remaining diced melons, fresh mint, butter, and maple syrup.
