Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

Ingredients

Batter

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Meringue

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions

1

Mix Base

Whisk egg yolks and milk until pale. Sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.

2

Whip Meringue

In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar. Gradually add sugar and whip until stiff, glossy peaks form.

3

Fold

Gently fold the meringue into the yolk mixture in three stages, being extremely careful not to deflate the air bubbles.

4

Cook

Using a ring mold or just piling the batter high, cook on a very low heat covered skillet for 5-7 minutes per side. Add a teaspoon of water to the pan for steam.

5

Serve

Stack them high and top with a knob of butter and a dusting of powdered sugar.
