Japanese Souffle Pancake スフレパンケーキ
Description
This Japanese Souffle Pancake recipe calls for separating eggs and whipping egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar until soft peaks form. Meanwhile, egg yolks are mixed with milk, mayonnaise, and sifted flour to create a smooth batter. Carefully folding portions of the meringue into the batter preserves the airiness necessary for the soufflé texture.
Cooking is done on a very low or keep-warm heat setting to ensure the pancakes rise slowly and cook through without burning. The resulting pancakes exhibit a tall, puffy shape with a golden exterior and soft, custard-like interior. The mild sweetness is subtle and balanced by the mayonnaise, which contributes a tender crumb.
The recipe makes about six small pancakes around 10 cm in diameter, perfect for breakfast or dessert served with syrup, fruit, or toppings of choice. The light texture and mild flavor highlight the soufflé technique rather than robust flavors.
