Description

A delightful fusion of cake and pancake, these light, airy fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes will elevate your breakfast experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Oil (for cooking)
  • Sweetened whipped cream (for topping)
  • Assorted berries (for freshness)
  • Powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • Maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (cold, for whipped cream)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg yolks and whites. In a bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until blended. Gradually add flour and baking powder, stirring until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add white vinegar and sugar, then whip to stiff peaks.
  3. Gently fold egg whites into the batter without deflating.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and grease with oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter on the skillet, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden on the bottom and slightly set on top. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, covered.
  5. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

For a delightful twist, try adding matcha powder or cocoa powder to the batter.
