What to do:
1. Mise en Place. Measure and prep your ingredients.
2. Mix egg YOLKS, sugar, milk, and pancake mix in a bowl until smooth.
3. This is how you get them fluffy! In a separate bowl beat egg WHITES with a mixer, until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold the egg white into the pancake mixture. Slowly so you don't deflate the batter.
5. Spray your ring molds with any cooking spray. Heat up your nonstick pan, add butter.
6. Add molds to pan, fill the molds 3/4's of the way. Cover pan and cook 10 mins on low heat until pancakes are slightly jiggly.
*Be Patient, and keep the heat low.
7. While cooking, make the marscapone filling. Mix marscapone, sugar, lemon juice/zest, and salt until creamy.
8. Mix maple syrup with orange juice, zest, and vanilla.
9. Carefully flip over and cook for 5 more mins.
10. Cross your fingers and release from the molds.
11. Top with berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Add filling between pancakes, on the side, or BOTH.
12. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER:
If you don't have ring molds or are struggling, make as regular pancakes or use the outside of mason jar covers as a mold. They will still taste delicious, just a bit short.
This was my first attempt:

Grapefruit Vodka Fizz.
2 oz Belvedere
