Fluffy Japanese Souffle Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fluffy Japanese Souffle Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by pouring milk into a large bowl and adding white vinegar.

2. Step 2

   Let this mixture sit for about five minutes; you'll notice the milk will begin to sour, creating a perfect base for your pancakes.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, white sugar, and baking powder, then set this aside for later.

4. Step 4

   Now, grab your electric mixer and beat the egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until they form stiff peaks—this will give your pancakes that delightful fluffiness.

5. Step 5

   Next, add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the soured milk mixture, mixing well to combine.

6. Step 6

   Pour this creamy blend into the center of your flour mixture and whisk gently until just combined.

7. Step 7

   To elevate the flavor, stir in Japanese mayonnaise, ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to fold in those fluffy egg whites, being careful to keep the mixture airy and light.

9. Step 9

   Heat a griddle over medium-low heat and melt some butter to create a non-stick surface.

10. Step 10

    Grease round pancake molds and place them on the griddle, filling each mold halfway with your delicious batter.

11. Step 11

    Cook the pancakes for about four to six minutes, watching for the bottoms to turn golden brown while the tops remain slightly liquid.

12. Step 12

    When they’re ready, carefully flip each pancake along with the mold and let them cook for another four to six minutes until the other side is golden and the pancakes have puffed up beautifully.

13. Step 13

    Once done, gently remove the molds and serve your warm, fluffy pancakes right away.

14. Step 14

    They’re perfect on their own or topped with syrup or fresh fruit for an extra touch of sweetness.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy your delightful pancake creation!.
