# Once ready to cook the pancakes whisk the egg whites to a soft peak and fold into the batter.
# Lightly grease a heavy base fry pan and ladle in enough batter to form a pancake shape of your desired size.
# Cook until bubbles form on the top side and then flip over and cook the other side.
# Cut the strawberries into quarters and mix with blueberries and raspberries, ready for service.
