These Fluffy Japanese Pancakes, also known as soufflé pancakes, are thick, airy, and irresistibly soft. Perfect for a special breakfast or dessert, they’re a show-stopping treat that’s surprisingly easy to make at home.

Ingredients (Makes 4 pancakes):

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice (optional, for stability)
  • Butter or oil, for greasing the pan

Tips for Success:

  • Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
  • Cook the pancakes on low heat to prevent burning while allowing the centers to cook through.
  • Use molds or rings for perfectly round and tall pancakes.

How to Make Fluffy Japanese Pancakes:

1. Prepare the Batter:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Whisk until just combined.

2. Beat the Egg Whites:

  1. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer. Add cream of tartar (if using) and gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  2. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

3. Fold the Mixtures Together:

  1. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
  2. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

4. Cook the Pancakes:

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Using a large spoon or piping bag, scoop the batter into the pan to create tall mounds. Cover the pan with a lid.
  3. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula or tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. The pancakes should be golden brown and fluffy.

5. Serve:

  • Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
