For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs and whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter just before adding the Champagne. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to experiment with different flavorings! A teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg would add a lovely touch. These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
