fluffy japanese pancakes

Fluffy Japanese Pancakes (aka. Japanese Souffle Pancakes) are an airy pancake dream. Light, fluffy, and an experience you'll long to eat again. Time to spark a little joy...one fluffy souffle pancake at a time! 

Fluffy Japanese Pancakes

tbsp sugar

tbsp milk

tsp pure vanilla extract

tbsp cake flour

tsp baking powder

Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar until pale and frothy. Mix in the milk and vanilla.

Sift flour and baking powder into the mixture and whisk until incorporated.

Bowl 1 - Yolk Mixture

Whisk 1/3 of the meringue into the yolk mixture until completely incorporated. Add half of the remaining meringue and mix delicately. Add the remaining meringue and fold into the mixture using a spatula – be careful not to deflate the batter.

Heat a large non-stick pan (with a lid) over low heat. Add a very small drizzle of oil. Using ¼ cup scoops, scoop the batter into the pan. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the lid, add another ¼ cup of batter on top of the pancake already cooking. Cover and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Flip the pancake…EVER. SO. GENTLY! Cover and cook for 4-5 more minutes until done. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve!

Bowl 2 - Meringue

I love Japanese pancakes. Looking forward to having these on the weekend!

I've often seen these and have been dying to try them. They do sounds a little scary to try and make though. I'm pinning this to try when I am feeling more confident! lol Thanks for sharing :)

OMG. &lt;333333 They turned out SO WELL. YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ARE THE BEST!

I am going to try these tomorrow! After trolling recipes online I am happy to find what looks to be the traditional recipe without using a pre-made pancake mix and form molds! Thank you so much and I look forward to feeding them to my picky husband

I’ve made this recipe twice now. They’re incredibly light &amp; fluffy and they taste amazing! 
Saved the recipe and they’re the only pancakes I’ll ever make from now on. Awesome recipe!

Used pineapple can as ring - took a few tries to figure out how to flip (using two spatulas finally did the trick). Fluffy &amp; delicious!!  Thanks for the recipe!!

Awesome recipe and so easy to follow! Just tried it and shared my experience linking your recipe! :) 

Made these with Trader Joe's gluten free pancake mix instead of flour. Cut the sugar to 1 tbs with the yolk. The mix already has some sugar and baking powder so only added vanilla. The secret is in the meringue. They puffed up perfectly on my pancake griddle. a light coating of butter worked better than oil. the first one stuck when I tried to turn it. Turning them is tricky, takes a couple or more times to get the hang of it. I got 4 pancakes out of the recipe. My sloppy turning wasn't pretty but they tasted yummy. Didn't even need syrup.

They were perfect until I delicately transfered them to my plate : prrrrrrt ! Bye bye air... they became flat under my eyes @$!%€ ! Maybe they weren’t cooked enough ? 

So close, will definitely try again. And even if they became flat, the taste is simply delicious !

This was my 4th try at fluffy pancakes and it was a success!! The first time the pancakes came out wonderfully fluffy, probably more by chance than anything else!  Cream of tartar,? Nope. Steaming? Nope. But I lowered the heat to 3 (1-9 ceramic top) and covered. Bingo!  Can't wait to make these for my grandsons next Christmas! Thank you!!

These pancakes are awesome I made them for my twin granddaughters and the loved them 

Thank You

Unfortunately mine (first attempt) were not as fluffy (maybe 1cm thick). When i poured the second layer it spread till beyond the first layer instead of clumping up on top of it. I didn’t know when to stop beating the egg whites, after 5min, still barely peaks that i just stopped at some point thinking i must be overbeating it already. Also i made my own cake flour mixing all-purpose with cornstarch. Taste-wise though it’s great. I’ll try again next time, will tag you when it’s perfect. Thanks for sharing!
