RECIPES OF THE WORLD: JAPANESE FLUFFY PANCAKES (OR FUFOSOS, FOR FRIENDS)

 On our last trip to Japan and South Korea , it was clear to us that “ fluffy pancakes ” are the trend of the moment. Come on, the new eggs benedict and avocado toast. There are those who call them hot cakes, those who are fluffy Japanese pancakes (for us they are fluffy pancakes) ... Be that as it may, it is clear that this dessert is delicious and is very easy to prepare. Don't you believe us? Here is the recipe for extra fufositos Japanese pancakes .

Ingredients (2 people)

1. 2 eggs
2. 20 ml milk
3. 40 gr of wheat flour
4. 20 grams of sugar
5. 1 teaspoon yeast
6. a pinch of salt
7. 1 teaspoon of butter
8. Optional: vanilla, rum or orange aroma

As you will see, the ingredients are the same as those of classic crepes / cakes / pancakes… and this is a small variation of the original recipe, but you'll see that it has its own touch!

Preparation

1. Okay, the first thing is to separate the whites from the yolks. We put the two yolks in a bowl and mix them with the milk. If we want to add to the pancakes a touch of vanilla, rum, orange,whatever the most flavorful aroma, it's time ... Of course, don't overdo it: 4 drops are enough.

2. The next step will be to incorporate the flour and yeast into the bowl (sifted, so that no lumps form, of course). We mix everything well for a few minutes and save.

3. What do we do with the clear ones? The whites are the secret of the recipe: we will have to beat them in another bowl for a few minutes. The next thing will be to add the sugar little by little while we continue beating. The texture that we will obtain should be similar to the beard foam (although it will taste better, fixed).

4. It is time to unite the two preparations, mixing them very well (by hand, forget about the mixer). As you will see, the dough was very fluffy (you'll see how rich!).

5. In a non-stick frying pan we melt the butter over low heat and when it starts to bubble we add our pancake batter, in small portions (don't worry if at first they have a weird and crooked shape, as soon as the bottom is done and turn around, gravity will flatten things out XD). Likewise, according to my experience, it is best to start making it small because you will see that it has its trick to turn it around

6. Done! We plate and serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, condensed milk, ice cream, cream, nutella, whatever you want 😉

This is the very simple recipe for Japanese pancakes, a sweet and easy to prepare dessert that will conquer the heart and stomach of the whole house!
