Print Recipe

Light and airy Japanese soufflé pancakes made with just three simple ingredients—eggs, sugar, and flour. Perfect for a quick, impressive brunch or cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs: Carefully separate 4 large eggs into two bowls—egg whites in one, yolks in another. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
  2. Whip the egg whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar while continuing to whip. Keep beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Combine yolks and flour: In the other bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks. Sift 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the yolks and mix until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Fold egg whites into yolks: Gently fold about a third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk-flour mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches using slow, deliberate strokes.
  5. Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil, wiping away excess with a paper towel.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Using a large spoon or ring molds, scoop the batter into the pan, forming thick rounds about 3 inches wide. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden and edges start to set.
  7. Flip gently: Carefully flip each pancake using a thin spatula and the lid’s help to keep shape. Cover again and cook for another 4 minutes until cooked through and puffed.
  8. Serve immediately: Transfer to plates and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

Ensure bowls and tools are grease-free for best egg white whipping results. Cook pancakes on low heat and cover with a lid to help them puff. Fold egg whites gently to keep batter airy. Use ring molds for uniform height but they are optional.
