Fluffy Souffle Pancakes
Pancakes would have to be one of my very favourite foods. But these babies are clouds of fluffy pancake that look fancy but are incredibly simple to make. They are so light and fluffy they nearly dissolve on your palette!
Method
-
In a jug mix together the milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the caster sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is thick and creamy.
-
In another bowl, sift the plain flour and baking powder together.
-
Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in the egg mixture. Fold together.
-
In a separate bowl, add the egg whites and whisk until they go white. Slowly add the 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and peaks form.
-
Gently fold the egg white mixture through the pancake mixture until just combined.
-
Preheat a frypan to medium heat and add a dobb of butter until it bubbles. Add three tablespoons of mixture per pancake - or if you want the souffle pancakes extra high - use some buttered egg rings to cook the pancakes i the pan.
-
Cook until bubbling, turn over and cook until golden. Serve immediately.
These Fluffy Souffle Pancakes are a Japanese style of pancake – and they look super impressive on the plate!
What makes these pancakes so incredibly light and airy are the beaten egg whites that are folded into the mix. You enjoy them just the same as you would any other pancake recipe (ie with maple syrup or golden syrup, or with lemon juice and sugar, or just a great big slab of butter!).
