Japanese Fluffy Pancakes


I am happy to share Japanese Pancakes.  I was visiting Jenna's blog, The Painted Apron and her son had made her breakfast with Japanese Pancakes.  I was hooked.

Who doesn't love a fluffy light and airy pancake? You can use a large cookie cutter, mini cheesecake mold, ring molds, tin cans, etc. I am using my mini heart springform pans for the heart pancakes. The round pancakes are made by using the 3X3 Dessert Mold below.

The secret is whipping the egg whites.  I am going to try my Banana Nut Bread Recipe this way.  My recipe calls for whipped egg whites, so I know it will be tasty.

Yield: 4
Author: Linda - adapted from Tasty
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 15 MinTotal time: 25 Min
Light , fluffy, airy Japanese pancakes made with ring molds.

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk- You can make your own butter milk.
  • 3/4 cup pancake mix
  • 4 egg whites
  • Butter
  • Syrup - powdered sugar
  • berries of your choice

Instructions

  1. Mix together the egg yolks, sugar, milk, and pancake mix in a very large bowl until it is smooth with no large lumps.
  2. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form when lifted.
  3. Carefully fold the egg whites into the pancake batter, until mixed.  Don't overmix the batter,
  4. Grease two 3.5-inch metal ring molds and set them in the middle of a pan over the lowest heat possible.
  5. Fill the molds about ¾ of the way full with the batter, then cover the pan and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the center of the pancakes are slightly jiggly.
  6. Release the pancakes from the bottom of the pan with a spatula, then carefully flip them over, making sure not to spill any batter.
  7. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, then serve with butter, syrup, and berries!
  8. Enjoy!

*Another recipe is using Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie), which I purchased on Amazon. I know adding mayo sounds awful, however Mayonnaise is made from egg & oil.  The vinegar is the ingredient that makes the funky smell.  Baking vinegar, the smell and  taste are cooked off.  So if you are feeling adventurous, you can try adding Mayo. Here is the recipe for her Japanese Pancakes.
