In The Kitchen Making Style Japanese Pancakes

Have you been eating American Pancakes for a while now? Wait until you try the Japanese ones. They are fluffier, taller and bigger.

I saw a picture of a tall pancake on my Facebook timeline titled ” Things to try in Japan”. Well I would love to go to Japan but I’ ll be enjoying my pancake right here in my American kitchen for now. I tried to locate any local Japanese restaurant and only one has it; however the store hours and my work schedule always interfere. So, I’ve been wanting to make them at home ever since.

I am no chef but I love trying new recipes. In term of ingredients, they’re very similar to the American Pancakes , but taller and softer in texture. In addition, some people may choose do it from scratch, some with any regular pancake mix or the actual Japanese mix. Enjoy…

INGREDIENTS

3/4 of any pancake mix(any but Japanese mix recommended)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of milk( If you are lactose intolerant, I recommend a2 Milk. It is easy to digest and will not be hard on your tummy)
1/4 cup of sugar
Fruits to serve
Butter to serve
Pancake syrup, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

Prep time 10 mins and total time 30 mins

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks , sugar and milk. Then add the pancake mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg’s white until it gives you that spongy and fluffy white cloud texture.
Now add all ingredients in one bowl and stir to combine.
Heat a nonstick pan (low heat) and grease the inside of mold with butter and place it in the middle of your pan. Fill the ring mold only halfway because once it start rising ; it could be all over the pan . Cover it with a clear lid and cook for 4 minutes, then use a stapula to flip mold and cook for another 4 minutes until the bottom is golden.
While the other pancake is cooking, keep the previous ones warm by covering them with foil or your microwave cover.
Stack them up, serve them with butter, berries banana slices, and of course drizzle with syrup of your choice.
