Thick, fluffy and souffle-like, Japanese pancakes are delicious. The addition of beaten egg whites folded into the batter make them light and airy. Serve with berries, butter, and syrup.

Ingredients

2 egg yolks
¼ cup sugar
½ cup milk
¾ cup pancake mix
4 egg whites

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the egg yolks, sugar, milk, and pancake mix until the batter is smooth and without large lumps.
  2. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Carefully fold the egg whites into the pancake batter, until just incorporated, making sure not to deflate the batter.
  4. Grease two 3.5-inch (9 cm) metal ring molds. Place molds in the middle of a large skillet over low heat.
  5. Fill the molds about three-quarters of the way full with the batter. Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the center of the pancakes are slightly jiggly.
  6. Using a spatula, gently release the molds filled with batter from the skillet, then flip them over very carefully, making sure not to spill any batter.
  7. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Remove pancakes from molds and serve immediately.
