FLUFFY JAPANESE PANCAKES
These are lovely wobbly jiggly dessert souffle like pancakes. These can be made in a mould like a mousse ring or just ladled out onto a medium hot pan for a more freeform style! Makes roughly 6
2 egg yolks
2 tbs sugar
4 tbs milk
6 tbs flour
½ tsp baking powder
WHITES 4 Egg whites
¼ tsp cream of tartar
3 tbs sugar
Mix the yolks and the sugar until fluffy, stir in the milk and sieve in the flour and baking powder. Now whisk the egg whites, tartar until soft peaks and then gradually add the sugar being careful not to over whisk. Fold the whites into the egg yolk mix in 3 batches, the 1st batch mix through well and fold remaining 2 batches of white in. Be careful not to overmix. Heat a crepe or frying pan and grease with some butter and using a ladle of large spoon place large mounds on the pan. Cover the pan with a lid or use a piece of foil to create a lid. Cook for 1-2 mins before checking, these can colour very quickly so keep an eye out, turn carefully with a palette knife and cover again for another 1-2 mins or until golden brown. Eat straight away with some custard, compote or ice cream. We had these with some rhubarb fool. Recipe to follow.
