“A glimpse into the pop culture cuisine of Japan”
But zoo wee mama was this hard to make, I would not recommend destroying your entire kitchen just to get that perfect meringue. It took me 4 painstaking hours and countless moments of my mom yelling at me to get out of the kitchen. The carpal tunnel I have now was not worth 4 souffle pancakes haha
Enough of that though lets get straight to the recipe
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 tablespoons of whole milk
- vanilla extract (as much as you want)
- 1/4 cup of cake flour
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon oil
- water (for steaming)
Steps
- Separate the yolks and white from the eggs and put the whites in the freezer for 15 min
- Add the milk and vanilla to the yolks and whisk till frothy
- add the cake flour to the yolk mixture and whisk
- take the whites and slowly stream sugar into the bowl as you whisk to create stiff peaks
- Preheat a pan on medium (for later)
- mix 1/3 of the meringue into the yolk mixture and WHISK
- FOLD all of the egg ingredients together using a SPATULA
- Ladle small amounts of the pancake batter into 2 or 3 areas in your pan
- as it settles top each one off with 1 more scoop
- add a little water in 3 spaces in the pan to create some steam and then close with a lid
- around 6-7 min later they should be ready to flip
- roll them over, add water, and cook for 4 – 5 more min
48 HOURS LATER YOU ARE DONE!
wow marvel at the 6 pancakes you have made that look very aesthetically pleasing!
haha all jokes aside, I had a great time making this recipe and was inspired by the food craze going on right now and that one “Insider Food” video that keeps popping up on my recommendations.
Tips
- Make sure to whisk till stiff peaks
- preheat the pan so the pancake cooks well in the middle (you dont want a lava cake haha)
- this whole recipe tastes 10X better with homemade whipped cream (just make it im telling you its very worth it)
- roll the pancakes over DONT flip them
