Fluffy Japanese Pancakes
The Breakfast Revolution – Soufflé-Style Pancakes
By using a slow-cook method and deep crumpet rings, these pancakes rise into towering, pillowy treats that are as light as air and perfect for soaking up honey and fresh berry juices.
Achieving that signature Japanese “wobble” requires a pan with flawless heat distribution and a surface that won’t grab the delicate batter. The Stonetastic Granite Non-Stick Frying Pan is the ideal tool for the job; its stone-reinforced coating ensures that even at the very low temperatures required for this recipe, your pancakes slide out of their rings perfectly. Using your Jean Patrique Plastic Mixing Bowls, you can easily whisk your batter to a smooth, aerated consistency. The addition of vanilla extract and a touch of golden caster sugar creates a nostalgic, high-end flavor that rivals the best brunch spots in Tokyo.

Cooks
12 mins per batch
150g/0.3lbs self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
2 large eggs
180ml/6.1 fl oz. whole milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil (plus extra for the pan)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Honey & fresh berries, to serve
1 Sift the flour and baking powder into your Jean Patrique Mixing Bowl to ensure no lumps.
2 Make a well in the center and add the eggs, oil, and caster sugar. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly until the batter is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3 Place your Stonetastic Granite Frying Pan on the hob over a very low heat. Lightly brush the pan and the inside of your crumpet rings (approx. 3.5cm high) with oil.
4 Place the rings in the pan and fill them ¾ full with the pancake batter.
5 Cover the pan with a lid. This traps the steam and helps the pancakes rise. Cook for approximately 10 minutes on the lowest heat setting.
6 Once the tops are covered in tiny bubbles and the edges look set and dry, you are ready to flip.
7 Carefully turn the pancakes over within their rings. Cook for a further 2 minutes on the other side.
8 Remove the rings gently and stack the pancakes high.
9 Drizzle with plenty of honey and top with fresh seasonal berries.
10 Serve immediately while warm and fluffy. Enjoy!
