How to Make Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Using a ring mold or a measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and fluffy.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes as they finish cooking.
- Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh mint.
