Fluffy Cloud Pancakes スフレパンケーキ 🥞

Instructions

Step 1: Separate the Eggs

Begin by separating the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites in a bowl and refrigerate them while you prepare the pancake batter. Keeping the egg whites cold helps them whip up into stiff peaks more easily. This step is essential for achieving that fluffy soufflé-like texture in your pancakes.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, milk, baking powder, and cake flour. Mix the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well-combined. The cake flour creates a tender texture, while the baking powder helps the pancakes rise when cooked. Set the batter aside while you prepare the meringue.

Step 3: Make the Meringue

In another clean bowl, beat the chilled egg whites with a squeeze of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. The lemon juice helps stabilize the egg whites, while the cornstarch adds extra firmness. Gradually add the sugar in three batches, continuing to whisk until the egg whites form stiff peaks. The meringue should be glossy and hold its shape when you lift the whisk.

Step 4: Fold the Meringue into the Batter
