Frequently Asked Questions

How to get really fluffy pancakes?

The technique of whipping egg whites

For even fluffier, thicker pancakes, the secret lies in folding beaten egg whites into the batter to create an airy texture. This recipe is easy to make and offers a refreshing change from more classic, traditional pancakes. Use fresh baking powder, gently mix the ingredients without overworking the batter, and cook over low heat with a lid on to allow the pancakes to reach their maximum thickness. You can also add vanilla extract for an extra touch of indulgence!


How to cook fluffy pancakes?

Heat a slow-cooking , non-stick pan and pour the batter into pastry rings to help them hold their shape. Add a few drops of water to the pan, cover, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Gently flip the cooked pancakes and continue cooking, covered, for another 3-4 minutes until fluffy and golden brown.

How to make Japanese soufflé pancakes?

These fluffy Japanese pancakes are distinguished by their exceptional height and uniquely airy texture . Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into your smooth mixture of flour, milk, and eggs. Pour the pancake batter into tall rings, add water to the pan , and maintain a gentle heat. Serve these thick pancakes with maple syrup and fresh fruit for an authentic Japanese experience.

Can the dough be prepared in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To preserve the optimal airy texture of your fluffy pancakes , add the beaten egg whites just before cooking rather than folding them in beforehand.

How to store fluffy pancakes?
