Recipe Variations

To make it different, I have tried this recipe adding the following ingredients:

You can change the flavor by adding ¼ teaspoon of extracts like vanilla, lemon, or almond. Try them with a different one each time. Try adding a teaspoon of cocoa and sift it with the flour before adding it to the egg yolks to make chocolate-flavored pancakes. 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 the 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 it, leave them a bit longer.
