Perfect Homemade Pancakes (Japanese Soufflé Vs. American Style)

Homemade pancakes are truly a beautiful thing in the morning. Now the only issue is finding a recipe you want to stick to. The Japanese Souffle pancake, or the traditional American "flapjack".

FWIW, Japanese people don't make those types of pancakes at home for the most part. They're sold in specialty restaurants as a dessert option. The type of pancakes Japanese people make at home (on the rare occasions that they do) are usually from a boxed mix (Morinaga hot cakes is pretty popular). So, they tend to go for the same sort of pancakes that Joshua recommended here.

Your pancake recipe is literally our family standard with a touch of vanilla added. Been making these all my life. True classic. All day, Baby!

Japanese pancakes is too much effort






Him: smokes maple syrup

[CHEFPKR]

Needs more red bean paste. Send a stack here, I'll test them out.

Usually when I make pancakes, I do the all American recipe except I beat the whites like in the soufflé version. That I would recommend over either other recipe. It’s a little bit more work, but results in fluffy, airy pancakes.

Literally just made “Just add water” pancakes and now u upload this? Tf do you want from me Josh?

[DanliciousFood]

Josh: Let's see if soufflé pancakes are even worth it to make.
Also Josh: Uses a smoker to smoke the maple syrup.

I made this recipe using soy milk + a tsp of vinegar to make a buttermilk and 2 tbsp of oil instead of butter. Turned out pretty good!! So a dairy free version snaps too! 🥰

As someone who lives in Japan, souffles pancakes are inconsistent here. Some are hard and just decorated with loads of sweets; and there are some really good ones.
I have a feeling people just like taking pics of them and upload to instagram.

Nonetheless, the best pancakes for me are the old fashion american buttermilk pancakes.

I made the American pancakes and they were so good. Gave some to my friend and he just texted me "Those pancakes... were amazing." I will definitely be using this recipe from now on, thank you king

Joshua: there’s more varieties of pancakes then anything on the planet
Pasta: am I a joke to you!?

Thank you for using both imperial and metric system, way to think international :) Love your videos and all the whisky business, greetings from Latvia ;)
I kind of feel tempted to share some info about Russian/Eastern European pancake varieties, maybe someone will be interested to try them :)

So we've got syrniki, also called tvorozhniki (syr means cheese in Russian, and tvorog means cottage cheese), and those are fluffy/creamy (yet simple to make) cottage cheese pancakes.
We also have buttermilk pancakes more similar to American ones - oladyi or oladushki. They are fluffy too, smaller than American ones, made with milk, kefir or other milk products. There can be different variations of oladushki - with apple, for example, or sour ones with zucchini or pumpkin. We eat oladushki with sour cream, jams, honey.
And, of course, we have blini or blinchiki, which are thin pancakes like crepes, and we also eat them with all sorts of fillings - sour cream, jams, honey, caviar, meats, cottage cheese.
So pancakes are a big deal in Russia and Eastern Europe, it's basically a national dish))
Man, this comment turned out way longer than I intended, sorry for the pancake rant :D
