Fluffy Japanese Pancakes: Home or Restaurant?

Fluffy Japanese pancakes, whether prepared at home or restaurant, there is a secret that needs to be maintained. If you are active in Instagram, I am sure you have crossed paths with the photographs of Japanese fluffy pancakes which are not only watchable but are also damn tempting. And if you are thinking these types of pancakes can be cooked only by a professional chef, in a restaurant; it is not the truth. Now to achieve this, know the following success tips.

The hidden tricks for the perfect batter –

• While whipping the egg whites, do it slowly, so that the beaten egg whites and the later the meringue is glossy, soft and dense
• The whipping speed needs to be increased only when the sugar is added. This will allow meringue to achieve stiff peak
• When blending the meringue with the beaten egg yolk, don’t mix all of it at one go. First add half, lightly whisk it and then add the remaining. Take ample care not to over-mix and deflate the batter
• To assure it turns out to be like the Japanese fluffy pancakes, fry them on a frying pan at the lowest heat possible
• Even though you prepare the pancakes on a non-sticky pan, either spray the pan with non-sticky cooking spray or add a few drops of vegetable oil, wiping out the excess

How to get the jiggly height –

• While scooping the batter on the non-sticky pan, instead of spreading it, pile it high
• Add a few drops of water, which will create steam and allow the pancake to rise and cook uniformly
• To get your desired height, you can always add a second scooping on the setting pancake
• In case you have a tall mound, use that to assure perfect height. If you don’t have but you wish to use it, you can either buy one or create one at home
• To attain its usual golden bottom, allow it to cook few seconds more beyond done
• The softness of an authentic fluffy Japanese pancake can be reached only if the pancakes are neither over nor undercooked. Pancakes generally start losing its signature texture, if overcooked
• After transferring them into a plate, it might get slightly deflated as it starts cooling, but that is nothing to worry, because it will still stay tall enough to be served delightfully.
