Description
Delicate and airy Japanese souffle pancakes, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk
- 3/4 cup cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, sugar, and vanilla until combined and creamy.
- Sift in the cake flour and baking powder, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the egg whites until firm peaks form, incorporating a little sugar as you whip.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture gently in parts for the best rise.
- Preheat your skillet over low heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil.
- Spoon the batter onto the skillet, making thick dollops of about a third cup each.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, fruits, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Patience is key when cooking; allow the pancakes to steam and rise properly for best results.
