Recipe Description

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:
