✨ A Bakery-Style Pancake Experience at Home
These ultra fluffy Japanese pancakes are not your everyday breakfast. They’re tall, airy, and incredibly soft—almost like eating a warm cloud. Inspired by Japanese soufflé pancakes, this recipe creates a delicate texture that gently jiggles and melts in your mouth.
Whether you’re preparing a slow weekend brunch or treating yourself to a cozy morning, these pancakes turn a simple moment into something truly special.
🌸 Why You’ll Love These Fluffy Pancakes
What makes these pancakes unique is the whipped egg whites folded carefully into the batter. As a result, the pancakes rise beautifully while staying light and tender inside.
Additionally, they’re cooked slowly over low heat, which allows the interior to remain soft and creamy while the outside turns perfectly golden.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these fluffy Japanese-style pancakes, prepare the following ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- A pinch of salt
- Neutral oil or butter for cooking
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
👩🍳 How to Make Ultra Fluffy Pancakes
First, whisk the egg yolks with milk and vanilla until smooth. Then, sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until just combined.
Next, beat the egg whites with salt and sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter in two additions, keeping as much air as possible.
After that, heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease it. Spoon the batter into tall rounds, cover the pan, and cook slowly for 4–5 minutes per side. Flip gently and cook until fully set.
Finally, remove from the pan and serve immediately.
🌿 Tips for Perfect Soufflé Pancakes
- Always use low heat to avoid browning too quickly.
- Fold the egg whites gently to keep the batter airy.
- Cover the pan while cooking to help the pancakes rise evenly.
Because of these steps, the pancakes stay tall, soft, and beautifully fluffy.
