Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

These cute little airy fluffy Soufflé Pancakes literarily melt in your mouth like a marshmallow could. All you need to make these delicate fancy pancakes is a hand mixer and a nonstick frying pan. I have made these pancakes so many times at home, now I'm able to cook them within 20 minutes. Let's see if you can beat my timer~

Step 1

Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two different DRY and Clean bowls. Water, oil, and fat from egg yolks will prevent egg whites from beating up. So make sure you don't break the egg yolks as you separate the eggs. It's ok to have some egg whites in egg yolks' bowl.

Step 2

Add milk and vanilla extract to the egg yolks. Mix with a whisk.

Step 3

Sift the cake flour into the bowl. Use the whisk to mix gently until there's so dry flour. Set aside.

Step 4

Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer. In the process of beating the egg whites, gradually add in the sugar in 3 times (one-third of sugar at each time). Beat until stiff peaks form (stand straight up when the mixer is lifted).

Step 5

Preheat a large nonstick frying pan over medium low heat. Fold a kitchen towel twice, use one end of the kitchen towel to dip some vegetable oil, evenly brush a thin layer of oil over the pan. The thin layer of oil should be invisible, otherwise you might have added too much oil, wipe some off with the clean side of the kitchen towel.

Step 6

Mix one-third of the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture.

Step 7

Pour the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites bowl. Mix gently until the color turns evenly light yellow. Over mixing will break air bubbles. So make sure to do this step gently and quickly.

Step 8

Turn stove to the lowest heat. Use a ladle to place 3 scoops of batter into the frying pan. Make sure they are not too close to each other or to the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Stack one scoop of batter onto each batter that's already in the pan. If you have more batter left, you can keep piling up the batter on the top of each pancake.

Step 10

Add 1 tbsp of water in empty spaces inside the pan. Cover with a lid. The water can create a steaming environment, so that the center part of the pancakes can be fully cooked. Keep the lid on for 4 minutes.

Step 11

Open the lid, gently flip each pancake. Add 1 more tbsp of water in empty spaces inside the pan. Cover with a lid. Keep the lid on for 3 more minutes.

Step 12

Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Add toppings of your choice. Enjoy immediately.
