If you don’t have them, follow my instructions below to make your own with aluminum foil! Serve with jam, whipped cream, mint leaves, and some berries. We love to serve them for birthdays and special occasions. Make Batter: Mix egg yolks, sugar, milk, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt then stir dry ingredients into the yolk mixture just until no large lumps remain. Beat Egg Whites: In another large bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter, just until incorporated. Cook: Grease a large skillet with butter or cooking spray, over LOW heat. Grease 3.5-inch (9 cm) metal ring molds, or make your own with tinfoil (see below). Place mold in hot, greased skillet and fill 2/3 with batter. Cover pan with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, until the center of the pancakes are only slightly jiggly. Flip: Using a metal spatula, gently slide it under the bottom of the pancake and pancake mold to release the bottom, and place a seconds spatula over the top of the mold. Carefully flip the pancake over, place back in the pan and slide the spatula out.) Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve these fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes topped with powdered sugar, butter, syrup, homemade jam, or berries.
