Japanese Souffle Pancake Recipe

Japanese Souffle Pancake Recipe

I know, Japanese Souffle Pancakes sound intimidating. But they're not. I'm sure if we were to call them 'Marshmellow Pancakes,' or 'Fluffy Pancakes,' it would be more approachable. And honestly, that's what they are. After many inquiries on how to make this dish, I’ve finally was able to formulate this recipe, along with equipment and appliance recommendations to help you nail this dish every time. Specifically, Hestan Cue makes it super easy with their space-age, non-toxic, non-stick Fry-Pan. And their Smart Induction Cook Top.

Ingredients

Souffle Pancake
Chantilly - The Only Whipped Cream Recipe You'll Ever Need
Haupia - Hawaiian Coconut Cream Sauce
Optional Garnishes

Instructions

Pancake Batter
  1. Sift all of your dry ingredients through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any clumps
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients (cake flour baking powder, and kosher salt).
  3. Add 4 egg yolks to your dry ingredients, incorporate the mixture with a fork. This process creates a slurry that prevents the flour from clumping. Mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes
  4. Then, gradually add 1/2 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) use a whisk to whip the egg whites and 1/2 tsp of lemon juice until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter until just incorporated (do not overfold)
  7. Preheat a reliable non-stick frying pan over low heat. 
  8. Then spray the inside of the pancake mold with nonstick spray.
  9. Place the greased pancake mold in the preheated pan.
  10. Spoon each ring halfway full with pancake batter. Cover the frypan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.
  11. Then quickly flip it over pancake mold and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Haupia - Hawaiian Coconut Cream sauce
  1. In a small pan combine 1/2  cup of Heavy Cream, 1/2 cup of Coconut Cream, 3 tbsp of Coconut Sugar, 3 tbsp of Powdered Sugar and 1/4 tsp of Kosher Salt. 
  2. Bring the pot to a simmer. Then take the pot off the heat.
  3.  Strain the Coconut Cream sauce through a fine-mesh strainer
  4. Allow sauce to cool to at ambient temperature
Chantilly - The Only Whipped Cream Recipe You'll Ever Need
  1. Pour heavy cream over into a mixing bowl. 
  2. Add powdered sugar
  3. Add 1/8 tsp of kosher salt
  4. Whisk the heavy cream until the cream starts to thicken; until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Keep refrigerated. Serve cold

Notes:

Why Cake Flour?

Cake Flour is a low protein that allows for a fluffy soft dough.


Ring mold helps the pancake retain the structure and will not deflate.
