Japanese Pancakes

Japanese pancakes, also known as “hotcakes” or “souffle pancakes,” are a popular breakfast or brunch item in Japan and have gained popularity in other parts of the world as well.

These pancakes are characterized by their tall, fluffy texture and are often served with toppings such as honey, maple syrup, whipped cream, fruit, and syrup.

They are made with a batter that is typically lighter and fluffier than traditional pancake batter, often using whipped egg whites to create a souffle-like texture.

Japanese pancakes are typically cooked on a flat griddle or frying pan, using ring molds to help them maintain their shape and height.

The pancakes are cooked slowly over low heat, with the lid of the pan closed to help them cook evenly and create a light and airy texture.
