Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

I have wanted to share this recipe for Japanese Soufflé Pancakes on my blog, for quite some time now, and finally, here it is. My family and I really love these delicate pancakes, every time I make them they disappear in seconds.

These Soufflé Pancakes, as their name mentions, are like little souffles, very fluffy and soft, light like a cloud, with a delicate flavor and texture.

For these pancakes, egg whites are separated from yolks, whipped to stiff peaks and gently incorporated into yolks mixture. The pancakes are then cooked over low heat to make sure they don’t burn and cook all the way through.

The recipe is not complicated, uses basic ingredients but can be a little tricky until you figure it out how it best works for you, as cooking time may vary slightly for everybody, depending on the pan you use, the heat and so on. Hope you will try these Japanese Soufflé Pancakes and enjoy as much as we did!
