These fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes are made with just three simple ingredients and a special whipping technique to create a light, airy texture perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature, separated)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided: 1 tbsp for yolks, 1 tbsp for whites)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • Optional: vanilla extract or a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs carefully, placing yolks and whites in separate clean bowls.
  2. Whisk the yolks with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Sift the flour over the yolk mixture and stir until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  4. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy, gradually adding the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and continuing to beat until soft peaks form (glossy and soft, not dry or stiff).
  5. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk-flour mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the rest, preserving as much air as possible.
  6. Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Grease ring molds if using.
  7. Spoon batter into the pan or molds, filling about 2 inches high. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and firm enough to flip.
  8. Carefully flip the pancakes, cover again, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through but still moist inside.
  9. Serve immediately with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best volume. Whip egg whites to soft peaks and fold gently to keep air in the batter. Cook pancakes low and slow with a lid to trap steam for best rise. If pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat. Practice flipping carefully to avoid breaking the delicate pancakes. Serve immediately for best texture.
