8/11/24: made these yesterday and they were very good, but did not pile up as high as the recipe suggested. i could probably have whipped the egg whites a bit stiffer, but i think the next time i make these, i’ll just make them with single layers of batter (and maybe put nutella or jam between two pancakes to make a stack).
