These fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes are soft, airy, and perfect for a cozy breakfast. The recipe uses simple pantry staples and a slow pan-cooking method to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, honey

Instructions

  1. Separate the 3 large eggs into two bowls—one for yolks, one for whites. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder.
  3. Add ½ cup (120ml) milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the egg yolks. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  4. Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold about a third of the whipped egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whites carefully to keep as much air as possible.
  7. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Lightly butter the surface.
  8. Using a large spoon or ring molds, spoon the batter onto the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 4–5 minutes until the bottom is golden and the top is starting to set.
  9. Gently flip each pancake using a spatula, cover again, and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes on the other side.
  10. Check doneness by ensuring pancakes are golden brown outside and springy to the touch. Poke lightly with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better whipping. Cook pancakes on low heat with a lid to prevent burning and allow them to rise tall and fluffy. Fold egg whites gently to keep air bubbles intact. Gradually add sugar when whipping egg whites to avoid sluggishness.
