Description
These tall, fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes are soft, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious — perfect for brunch or a dreamy breakfast treat.
Ingredients
All-purpose flour – 1/2 cup
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Egg yolks – 2 large
Milk – 3 tbsp
Vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
Egg whites – 2 large
Sugar – 2 tbsp
Neutral oil or butter – for greasing
Instructions
1. Whisk egg yolks, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix until smooth.
2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Fold one-third of egg whites into the yolk batter gently. Repeat with the rest until fully combined.
4. Grease ring molds and place on a pan over low heat. Fill each with batter.
5. Cover and cook for 5–6 minutes. Flip gently and cook another 5–6 minutes.
6. Remove from molds and serve with powdered sugar, berries, or syrup.
Notes
Make sure to beat egg whites to stiff peaks for the best rise.
Keep heat low and use a lid to trap steam — this helps them rise evenly and cook through.
You can use metal or silicone ring molds for best height and shape.
