Japanese Souffle Pancakes

Thick, jiggly pancakes made from a meringue-lightened batter, cooked slowly on a covered griddle until they rise tall.

Where it comes from

Souffle pancakes grew out of the same whipped egg white technique behind Japanese cheesecake and became a dedicated cafe dish, where the height and wobble of the stack are treated as a measure of quality.

What cooks argue about

Cooks argue over cooking covered on low heat for a long, slow rise versus higher heat for speed, since high heat browns the outside before the inside sets and collapses.

Nobody has published a japanese souffle pancakes recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
