Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

25 min · 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs (separated)
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp Cake flour (or All-purpose flour)
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • Oil for greasing

Method

  1. Mix egg yolks, milk, and vanilla. Sift in flour and baking powder; mix until smooth.
  2. In a separate clean bowl, whip egg whites. Gradually add sugar until stiff glossy peaks form.
  3. Gently fold meringue into yolk mixture in 3 batches. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat non-stick pan over LOW heat. Lightly grease.
  5. Scoop tall mounds of batter. Add 1 tsp water to empty pan spaces and cover with lid (to steam).
  6. Cook 4–5 minutes, flip gently, cook another 4–5 minutes covered.
  7. Serve immediately with powdered sugar and syrup.

Chef's tip: LOW heat is the secret — these pancakes steam as much as they cook
