Description

These Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes are light, airy, and jiggly, with a delicate texture that practically melts in your mouth. Made with whipped egg whites for extra height, these pancakes are perfect for a fancy brunch or a sweet treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs (separated into yolks & whites)
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for yolk mixture)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for meringue)
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional, stabilizes meringue!)
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)

For Serving:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Whipped cream & fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas!)

 



Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, 1 tbsp sugar, flour, and baking powder until smooth.

Step 2: Make the Meringue

  1. In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
  2. Add cream of tartar (if using), then gradually add 2 tbsp sugar, beating until you get stiff, glossy peaks (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 3: Fold & Mix

  1. Gently fold ⅓ of the meringue into the egg yolk batter to lighten it.
  2. Carefully fold in the rest of the meringue, being gentle to keep the air in the batter.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
  2. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, place 3-4 tall scoops of batter onto the pan.
  3. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the edges.
  4. Gently flip using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Carefully transfer pancakes to a plate.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with whipped cream & fresh fruit!
