Pancakes are popular breakfast foods around the world, and some countries have their versions. The French have thin crepes, the British have smaller crumpets and the Japanese have soufflé pancakes.

The Japanese pancake ingredient’s list is not too far off from regular pancakes. You will need:

  • 150g of self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp of baking powder
  • 2 tbsp of golden caster sugar
  • Two eggs
  • 1 tbsp of rapeseed, sunflower or grapeseed oil
  • 180ml milk
  • A dash of vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or cooking oil
  • Toppings like syrup, fruits, or bacon.

Cooking Method

First, you need to sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and create a well in the centre to add the eggs and oil. Stir the eggs and oil into the flour and gradually add milk while beating the liquid with a whisk.

After all, the batter is mixed, stir in the vanilla, and it will be ready to use immediately. Place two crumpet rings on a non-stick pan over low heat and spray the pan and moulds with cooking oil before adding the batter.

Fill no more than ¾ of the mould rings with your batter, cover your pan with a lid and cook for ten minutes. Carefully turn over the pancakes and cook for another minute or two until the other side is lightly browned.

Repeat the steps above with the rest of your batter, stack your pancakes and add your desired toppings. Remember to make a video for Instagram before serving and make your followers jealous while you dig in.
