Recipe Variations

To make it different, I added the following ingredients:

  1. You can change the flavor by adding ¼ teaspoon of extracts like vanilla, lemon, or almond. Try them with a different one each time.
  2. Add a teaspoon of cocoa and sift it with the flour before adding it to the egg yolks to make chocolate-flavored pancakes.
  3. Matcha is always a favorite addition to Japanese pancakes. Just sift it in with the flour.

Tips to make the best Souffle Pancakes

  • Remember to preheat the skillet. This is a crucial step. If your skillet is not hot enough, the pancakes will deflate before cooking.
  • Adding water is also important. The steam created inside will help harden the egg whites so the pancakes don’t deflate.
  • Setting your skillet on low is crucial as well. If the heat is too high, the bottom will burn and the middle will not cook.
  • Over-Mixing the batter will take the air out of the mixture and the pancakes will turn out flat. The egg whites should be folded gently into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Do not attempt to flip the pancakes until you are sure they are no longer stuck to the bottom. If you can’t move them, leave them a bit longer.
