How to make Japanese Soufflé Pancakes
The recipe for these pancakes is quite simple and uses basic ingredients. However, it can be a little tricky until you figure out the best way to prepare them for your unique cooking style. Cooking time may vary slightly for everyone, depending on the type of pan you use or the heat level.
To make these souffle pancakes, first, prepare parchment paper rings and bind the ends with butter. Then, separate the egg whites from the yolks and whisk the yolks together with milk, vanilla, flour, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with salt, lemon juice, and sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture and pour the batter into the prepared rings. Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes on one side and 5-6 minutes on the other. Remove the parchment paper, dust with powdered sugar or maple syrup and fresh berries, and serve immediately.
