Soufflé Pan­cakes・スフレパンケーキ

Incredibly fluffy, the Japanese interpretation of a pancake. To prevent the pancake from collapsing, as with soufflés, it is very important that the pancakes are cooked sufficiently on a very low heat. It will take a bit of experimentation to adapt the recipe to your own cooker.

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs and continue with the yolks first. Beat them in a bowl with the milk and vanilla extract until slightly frothy.
  2. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix together but do not overmix.
  3. Beat the egg whites until stiff and add the sugar and pinch of salt.
  4. Fold into the yolk mixture.
  5. Prepare a frying pan on a low heat and oil it a little.
  6. Spoon 2 heaped tbsp of mixture into the pan for each pancake. Once they have all been portioned, add another tbsp to each pancake.
  7. Add a little water (~2 tbsp) to the pan and steam for a surprisingly long time (~8 minutes) with the lid on.
  8. Spoon another tablespoon onto the pancakes. Continue to steam for approx. 8 minutes, adding more water if necessary.
  9. Turn the pancakes over, add some more water and leave to cook for a few minutes. This last step is much quicker as we only want them to brown. The pancakes should now be golden brown on both sides.
  10. Serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

If the pancakes collapse, there are two possible problems

  1. The pancakes were not cooked sufficiently
    Solution: Simply cook for longer. Keep the heat on low
  2. The egg white was overcooked or undercooked
    Solution: Beat the egg white to stiff peaks. The peaks should just fall over a little
