🛒 Ingredients
🥚 Egg Yolk Mixture
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp whole milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 33g (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour (sifted)
☁️ The Meringue (The Secret to Fluffiness)
• 3 egg whites (chilled)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice or cream of tartar
👩🍳 How to Make Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes
1. Prepare the egg yolk base
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add sifted flour and mix until you get a thick, lump-free batter.
2. Make the meringue
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with lemon juice (or cream of tartar). Gradually add sugar while whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Combine gently
Fold the meringue into the egg yolk mixture in 2–3 batches. Be very gentle to keep the air inside — this is what makes the pancakes fluffy.
4. Cook low and slow
Heat a non-stick pan on low heat and lightly grease it. Spoon thick batter into tall rounds.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4–5 minutes on low heat.
5. Flip carefully
Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another 4–5 minutes until golden and fully cooked inside.
6. Serve immediately
Stack the pancakes and serve while warm. Add your favorite toppings.

💡 Tips for Perfect Soufflé Pancakes

• Serve immediately for best texture
🍽️ Serving Suggestion
These pancakes taste best fresh off the pan. Pair them with coffee, milk, or hot chocolate for a perfect café-style breakfast at home.
🧊 Storage
Soufflé pancakes are best eaten fresh. They can be stored in the fridge for 1 day, but will lose some of their fluffiness when reheated.
