Soufflé Pancake Recipe: A Fluffy Delight
If you’re a fan of pancakes but yearn for something even fluffier, then these soufflé pancakes are a dream come true. Light, airy, and slightly tangy with a hint of coffee aroma, they make a perfect breakfast treat or an elegant dessert.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 20 ml whole milk
- 10 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon concentrated coffee aroma (or other preferred essence like vanilla)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 30 g wheat flour (sifted)
- 40 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Separate the Eggs: Begin by separating the egg yolks from the whites.
- Prepare the Yolk Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks with the milk, melted butter, and coffee aroma. If you prefer a different flavor, you can swap the coffee aroma for vanilla or another essence. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the pinch of salt and sifted wheat flour into the yolk mixture. Use a spatula or whisk to blend until smooth.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites at high speed. As they start to thicken, drizzle in the lemon juice followed by the sugar, adding the latter gradually. Continue whipping until the whites form stiff peaks. Note: This process can be done using an electric mixer for efficiency, but if you’re feeling energetic, you can also do it manually with a whisk.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula or pastry tongue. Use delicate, enveloping motions to ensure you don’t deflate the airy egg whites.
- Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or casserole over low-medium heat. Lightly grease it with a few drops of oil, spreading it evenly with a brush. Once the pan is ready, pour the batter using a small ladle or piping bag. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Serving Suggestion: These soufflé pancakes are heavenly on their own, but a drizzle of honey or syrup will elevate them to new heights of deliciousness. Enjoy your meal!
Note: Ensure you maintain a consistent low heat while cooking to prevent the pancakes from burning. The soufflé nature of these pancakes makes them thicker and fluffier than regular pancakes, so they might take a bit longer to cook through.
