I call these Fluffy Japanese Pancakes high rise pancakes because they expand as they cook. I use a special cooking mold in the pan to ensure that the pancakes expand upwards rather than outwards. When making these pancakes, use rings molds which measure 3¾ inches in diameter and 1¼ inches in height.
This fluffy Japanese pancakes recipe is really easy to make too. Start by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl to make a batter. Leave to rest for about 15 minutes while you prepare the griddle and cooking molds. Place the molds on the griddle and half fill with pancake batter. Cook on both sides until you have a high rise pancake which easily pops out of the mold. Serve with your favorite pancake toppings!
To make these Fluffy Japanese Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Whisk 2 eggs, 7 ounces of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla together in a large bowl. Add 1⅔ cups of flour, 1¾ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ cup of sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Set to one side to rest and thicken for 15 minutes.
Lightly grease the surface of your griddle and preheat to 300 °F. Spray cooking molds generously with cooking spray.
Place greased molds on the griddle and fill each one halfway with batter.
Cook batter until bubbles start to form and burst on the surface of the pancake and the edges look cooked.
Carefully slide a large spatula underneath the pancake, until all of the pancake is on the spatula. Or use silicone BBQ and kitchen tongs. Flip the pancake quickly and as it lands back down on the griddle, push the ring mold down firmly to stop the pancake batter from seeping out.
Continue to cook the pancake for a few more minutes. Lift the mold and the pancake should pop out easily.
Repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter.
Serve these high rise pancakes with your favorite toppings.
