Introduction

If you're looking for a new pancake recipe to try, why not give Japanese pancakes a go? These fluffy and airy pancakes are a popular breakfast dish in Japan and have become a trend all around the world. They're made with a few simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps on how to make Japanese pancakes at home.

Ingredients

To make Japanese pancakes, you'll need:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the pancakes tough. 4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. You can also use a griddle if you have one. 5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the batter onto the pan. Make sure to leave enough space between each pancake, as they will spread out as they cook. 6. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. 7. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. 8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Let it sit for a few minutes before using. - You can add different flavors to the batter, such as matcha powder or cocoa powder, for a unique twist on the classic Japanese pancake. - To make the pancakes even fluffier, you can separate the egg white and yolk and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then fold the egg whites into the batter gently. - Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
