Simple Sweet Japanese Soufflé Pancake
My supermarket-hack version of the famous Japanese soufflé pancakes was made easier using ingredients from Tesco or Sainsbury's. A fluffy, cloud-like breakfast that looks impressive but uses simple ingredients. Perfect for when you want something different from your usual porridge or toast! This fluffy, cloud-like breakfast uses three eggs for extra protein while keeping that signature airy texture. Finished with a drizzle of honey and Greek yoghurt for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients
Method
0 of 9 done- Separate your eggs, placing the whites in a large clean bowl and the yolks in a smaller bowl. Add a tiny pinch of salt to the egg whites.
- In the bowl with the yolks, whisk together the milk and half the honey. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg yolk mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter - don't worry if there are a few small lumps.
- Using a hand whisk, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks - they should stay upright when you lift the whisk out.
- Very gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into your batter to loosen it, then fold in the remaining whites using a metal spoon, keeping as much air in as possible.
- Melt the butter in a small non-stick frying pan (about 20cm) over the lowest heat possible. Pour in all your mixture - it will be quite thick and fluffy.
- Cover with a lid and cook for about 8-10 minutes on very low heat until you see the top starting to set and small bubbles appearing.
- Once the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set (it should be slightly wobbly), it's ready to serve.
- Slide into a bowl, top with Greek yoghurt, drizzle with extra honey, and sprinkle with crushed walnuts if using.
