Fluffy Japanese Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Butter (for greasing)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Separate the Eggs:
    Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites into two large bowls.
  2. Whisk the Yolks:
    Add sugar to the yolks and whisk until the mixture turns pale and creamy.
    Then, stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in the Dry Ingredients:
    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture.
    Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Whip the Egg Whites:
    Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
    This is what will make your pancakes super fluffy!
  5. Fold Gently:
    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts.
    Be careful not to deflate the batter.
  6. Cook the Pancakes:
    Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat and grease it lightly with butter.
    Using a ring mold (if you have one), spoon the batter into the mold to get a nice shape.
    If you don’t have a mold, just spoon the batter directly onto the pan and shape it as best you can.
    Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the edges look set.
    Flip gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Transfer your fluffy pancakes to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, add a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with maple syrup.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the fluffiness!

Easy Pancakes / Crepes Recipe

South Africans call them pancakes… Americans call them crepes… Either way, everyone loves them.
Here’s an easy pancakes crepes recipe that will delight everyone and make you their favorite cook!

Course: Dessert or Other
Cuisine: International

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Flour (All-Purpose)
  • 4 Eggs
  • 5 cups Water
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Oil
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  2. Put a little oil or non-stick cooking spray in a medium-high heat pan.
  3. Add enough of the mix to the pan to cover the entire bottom of the pan with a thin layer.
  4. Bake on one side for about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. Flip the pancake using a spatula (egg-lifter, as we South Africans call it).
  6. Bake on the other side for about the same time.
  7. Remove from the pan. Some people spray a little butter on the pancake.
  8. Sprinkle a little cinnamon-sugar (mix) on the pancake and roll it using a fork.
    You can also use a savory filling instead, if you choose.
