Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry. Step 2 Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in batter.
