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.
