DIY Soufflé Pancakes Recipe

These DIY Soufflé Pancakes are light, airy, and incredibly fluffy, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Unlike traditional pancakes, soufflé pancakes use whipped egg whites to achieve their signature height and delicate texture. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, these pancakes are a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.


Ingredients:

For the Pancake Batter:

  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • ½ cup cake flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 tbsp water (for steaming)
  • Butter (for greasing the pan)

For Toppings:

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Sift in cake flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

  1. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until frothy.
  2. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Step 3: Fold the Mixtures

  1. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture using a rubber spatula.
  2. Once combined, fold in the remaining egg whites, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and lightly grease with butter.
  2. Scoop dollops of batter onto the skillet, layering a second round of batter on top to create height.
  3. Pour 1 tbsp water into the skillet (avoiding the pancakes) and cover with a lid.
  4. Steam for 2 minutes, then add another scoop of batter onto each pancake.
  5. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully, add another 1 tbsp water, cover, and cook for 4 minutes.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
  2. Serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
