Are You In Love With These Fluffy Japanese Pancakes?
/If you haven’t heard of Japanese Fluffy Pancakes, you’re missing out. Seriously missing out. But what the heck is the deal with these things and why are they better than the buttermilk pancakes we grew up with and slathered Aunt Jemima on? I’ll tell ya.
First off, these things are thick. Forget thin, boring pancakes. Welcome these big fat babies into your breakfast life. These thick little pancakes are similar to souffles: creamy on the inside with a lightly crisped and golden outside. They’re also a bit smaller in diameter than traditional breakfast pancakes. But again, THICK!
But the thickness doesn’t equate to heaviness. Instead, Japanese Fluffy Pancakes are incredibly light and fluffy. They’re like perfect little pillows that you’d want to sink into. But instead, just sink your teeth into them and eat up.
Want to make them at home? I’m sure you’re wondering how to get them so tall without them flatting flat in the pan. That’s where this nifty ring mold comes in. You just pour your batter right into the ring that’s been sitting in the hot, buttered pan. It’s quite the improvement from old school Mickey Mouse pancakes. Talk about a culinary upgrade. See what all the talk is about here, from recipe's to where to get them!
Just like any pancake, you can top them with literally anything you want. Maple syrup, chocolate drizzle, butter butter butter, whipped cream (yes, I went there), chocolate chips...or fruit if you’re being healthy and boring...but no, let’s add more peanut butter, powdered sugar, whipped cream. Did I say whipped cream?
No more excuses. Make these now!
