extra thick and fluffy japanese style pancakes

Look at these Extra Thick and Fluffy Japanese Pancakes! Is your mouth watering? Mine is. These pancakes were a big indulgence and may have cost me a few calories, but it was so worth it. This special treat tasted truly amazing; they were super soft, fluffy, spongy, thick, and oh-so-delicious!

My original recipe for these Extra Thick and Fluffy Japanese Pancakes has been the most popular recipe on my blog since I shared it with you all about 2 years ago. As you might have noticed, us Japanese people can be a little bit OTT and come up with some very odd inventions like Gyoza Roses. But these pancakes are one of those times that this over-the-top attitude and innovation has paid off!

Traditional pancakes are often a lot thinner and flatter, whereas Japanese people have taken them to the next level and made them (clearly) way thicker and taller, which means they are a lot more intense and flavourful.

Ingredients

• 1 cup self raising flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 Butter milk to make up 1 cup with the egg
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
• Butter maple syrup, ice-cream, etc. for toppings

Instructions

1. Sift all the dry ingredients together into a bowl and combine.
2. In another bowl (or jug) add the egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract and whisk until just combined.
3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture in.
4. Mix together then add the mayonnaise and mix well to combine. (Don’t worry if you notice any scent coming from the mayonnaise, it will disappear completely after it's cooked).
