These fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes may look fancy, but don’t let that scare you off! With a little patience and care, you’ll create a stack of cloud-like pancakes that are just as fun to make as they are to eat.
Ingredients:
• 2 Love Your Eggs eggs, separated
• 3 Tbsp flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 1–2 tsp milk
• 3–4 Tbsp sugar (to taste)
• Splash of lemon juice
Directions:
Step 1: Prep the Eggs
Separate the 2 eggs. Place the egg whites in the fridge to chill.
Step 2: Make the Yolk Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, flour, baking powder, and milk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
Beat the chilled egg whites in a clean bowl. Add a splash of lemon juice. When the egg whites begin to foam, slowly add sugar while continuing to beat. Whip until stiff peaks form.
Step 4: Combine
Gently fold ¼ of the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Once incorporated, add the yolk mixture back into the whipped egg whites. Carefully fold until fully combined, taking care not to deflate the batter.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over low/medium heat. Scoop the batter with a ladle or pipe it onto the pan, aiming for pancakes about 2–3 inches tall. Add 2 tsp water to the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping gently.
Step 6: Serve
Remove pancakes from the pan and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, raspberries, and whipped cream—or your favorite toppings.
