    Zubereitung

    1
    Make your vegan buttermilk: Add soy milk and lemon juice to a bowl and stir well. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. You will notice the consistency changes – don’t be alarmed. That’s exactly what we want!
    2
    While waiting, put flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl and mix well.
    3
    Now add your buttermilk and stir everything roughly. Don’t worry if your batter is still very lumpy, that’s how it should be.
    4
    Next, make our vegan egg whites: Put aquafaba and starch in a bowl and whip the mixture like egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk. Mix until the foam is really stiff!
    5
    Heat a pan on low to medium heat (about level 2 out of 5). The Japanese pancakes need to be cooked very slowly on low heat so they bake through in the middle.
    6
    Add your vegan egg whites to the other ingredients and gently fold them in with a spatula or wooden spoon. We want to keep as much volume as possible. It doesn’t have to be perfectly mixed, that’s typical for this batter.
    7
    When the pan is warm, add some oil and greased dessert rings* to the pan.
    8
    Fill each dessert ring about ⅔ full with batter and immediately put a lid on your pan. This is important!
    9
    Let your Japanese pancakes bake for about 8-10 minutes. Depending on the size of your pancakes and how hot your pan is, it may take a bit longer or shorter.
    10
    When the pancake on top is no longer runny and the edges slowly start to come away from the dessert ring, you can flip the pancake. Simply turn the dessert rings over once. Add a splash of water to the pan, put the lid back on, and let the pancakes finish baking for about 5-10 minutes.
    11
    After baking, do the toothpick test: poke your pancake with a toothpick or another wooden stick. Is the toothpick almost clean when you pull it out? Fantastic! Then your Japanese pancakes are ready.
    12
    Remove the pan from the heat and take the pancakes out of the dessert rings.

    Top your Japanese fluffy pancakes with your favorite toppings and eat them while still hot – they taste best that way!

    Recipe Note

    Japanese pancakes are veeeery thick, super soft, and very fluffy pancakes. Because of this extreme fluffiness, they are a bit special to prepare. While you can quickly mix regular pancakes together, you have to work carefully with these pancakes. Also, swapping individual ingredients can quickly cause the Japanese pancakes to be less airy or taste different.

    Very important: No Japanese pancake master has fallen from the sky. And unfortunately, neither has a master woman. Your first attempt might not work out, but don’t give up!



    Substitution table

    How often do we want to cook a recipe but are missing certain ingredients or don’t like some components? For this case, we have a substitution table for you so you can adjust the fluffy pancake recipe however you like! Simply swap individual ingredients as you wish!

    • Soy milk → barista oat milk or cow’s milk, but: soy milk gives the best results
    • Lemon juice → apple cider vinegar
    • Wheat flour (Type 405) → fine cake flour
    • Powdered sugar → regular sugar or maple syrup, but: this makes the pancakes less fluffy
    • Cream of tartar baking powder → regular baking powder, but: this can cause a soapy taste
    • Baking soda → 5 g more cream of tartar baking powder
    • Potato starch → other types of starch, but: may lead to less good results

    Our recipe for Japanese pancakes is vegan, but of course you can use animal ingredients if you want!


    * Don’t have dessert rings? No problem! You can either make some yourself from aluminum foil or skip them entirely and just pile a small heap of batter directly into the pan. Your Japanese pancakes won’t be quite as tall this way, but just as delicious. Note: This also shortens the baking time!

      Frequently asked questions

      Use a dull knife to go around the pancake and carefully remove it. Make sure you grease your dessert rings well!

      That's no problem! This is completely normal with Japanese soufflé pancakes!

      The Asian pancakes are really not easy to prepare, a lot can go wrong! Just try it again and follow the instructions in the Japanese pancake recipe carefully. Then it should work!
