Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes


Delicately sweet, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!


🥄 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾

  • 1 tbsp baking powder 🌟

  • 2 tbsp sugar 🍬

  • A pinch of salt

  • ¾ cup whole milk 🥛

  • 2 large eggs, separated 🥚

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 🧈

  • A bit of oil, for greasing the pan


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. Mix the wet ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, vanilla, and melted butter until well combined.

  3. Combine wet & dry:
    Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix — just until combined.

  4. Whip the egg whites:
    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (about 3–5 minutes). This gives the pancakes their iconic fluff.

  5. Fold carefully:
    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in 3 additions. Use a spatula to keep the batter light and airy.

  6. Cook low & slow:
    Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly oil it. Use a ring mold if you want tall pancakes.
    Scoop the batter into the pan (about 1/3 cup per pancake). Cover the pan with a lid.

  7. Steam-cook the pancakes:
    Cook for 4–5 minutes, then gently flip and cook another 4–5 minutes, covered, until golden and jiggly.
    Don’t rush — low heat is key!

  8. Serve immediately:
    Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. 🍓🍯


💡 Tips for Success:

  • Use room temperature eggs for better whipping.

  • Don’t skip folding gently — this creates the soufflé texture.

  • Ring molds help the pancakes rise tall and evenly.
