Soufflé Pancakes (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 2 Large Eggs (separated).
02 - 2 tbsp Milk.
03 - 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour.
04 - 1/2 tsp Baking Powder.
05 - 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar (optional).
06 - 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar.
07 - 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional).
08 - Butter or Oil (for greasing).

Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
02 - Sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
04 - Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts, ensuring the batter remains airy.
05 - Grease a non-stick pan and place it over low heat. Use greased ring molds for tall, round pancakes.
06 - Spoon the batter into the molds, filling them 2/3 full. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden on the bottom.
07 - Flip the pancakes gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes, covered, until cooked through.
08 - Remove the pancakes from the molds and serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or syrup.

Notes:

01 - Japanese Soufflé Pancakes are ultra-fluffy and have a cloud-like texture.
02 - Perfect for special breakfasts, brunches, or dessert, these pancakes pair well with whipped cream, syrup, or fresh fruits.
03 - The key to their light texture is whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently folding them into the batter.
