Step 1

To begin making this fluffy japanese styly panckae cake, start by sifting the flour and mixing all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Step 2

Separate the egg whites and yolks and then beat the egg whites until fluffy, soft peaks formed.

Step 3

Make buttermilk by adding the milk and the vinegar (set aside)

Step 4

Meanwhile mix together the butter, butter milk and egg yolks together until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Combine the wet and dry ingredients (except the egg whites).

Step 6

Gently fold in the egg whites being careful not to knock out too much air from the egg whites (otherwise you won't get lovely thick fluffy pancakes!)

Step 7

To cook the pancakes use an 8 inch pan with lid covered and use 1 & 1/2 cup mix per pancake (1 pancake per person) - they are large size.

Step 8

Heat gently for around 20 mins, you need a nice low heat.* Tip * Use a toothpick to prod the pancake and test that it is cooked all the way through.

Step 9

Once cooked transfer to the fluffy pancakes to a plate and serve!

Step 10

Add maple and berries. Or if you're wanting a more decadent 'cake-style' recipe then whip up some cream as a 'frosting'.
