Fluffy Japanese pancakes made with this recipe turn out simply flawless. If you follow the cooking technique, the pancakes will always be fluffy, airy, and tender. Even when they cool down, they remain soft and very tasty.
Japanese pancakes made from a batter with whipped egg whites are relatively easy to prepare. They resemble something between a sponge cake and pancakes. To bake them, you need a dry non-stick pan without oil, and you can serve them with syrup, jam, jelly, or ice cream.
