Everyone always asks me for this recipe so I thought I would share it here. These are a favorite as far as pancakes go. Japanese style pancakes are always about twice the height of regular ones, if not more. They're velvety and creamy, very much like a sponge cake. Enjoy!
Prep Time: 5 minutes plus 10 minutes wait time
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes including wait time
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 5 Tbsp buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- butter for cooking pancakes
- shape cutter with high sides
Steps:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vanilla, salt and sugar.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Heat a griddle and melt some butter. If you're using an electric griddle, 350F is the perfect temperature. Grease shape cutter and place on griddle.
- Fill shape cutter halfway with batter. Cook for about five minutes or until large bubbles start to form. As you can see, the batter rises up to the top!
- Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until the bottom is golden.
- Serve with syrup, fruit, or cream... or all of them, like I do. Yum!
- Check out this puff! Sky high!

I'm going to try this. It reminds me of Mama's 'sweet bread' that we ate while still hot. And 'goody', I wont have to heat up the oven. Now, when do I wait 10 minutes, and for what?
