What is Matcha Souffle Pancake?
Today’s recipe is another one to love where I took a
step further by flavoring the original souffle pancake with matcha to give
it a brilliant green hue that stands out and a flavor boost that you can’t
stop eating.
What is Matcha Souffle Pancake?
Matcha
is powdered green tea (or green tea powder) and souffle pancakes are fluffy, airy, and
pillowy pancakes that are thicker than ordinary pancakes.
With
an earthy, slightly bitter and distinctly vanilla-like flavor, matcha can do
wonder when incorporated into desserts and baked goods. Thanks to the
complexity of matcha, you will find this souffle pancake carries a wonderful
depth and a subtle touch of savoriness in its sweet flavor.

·
2 large eggs

2 Tbsp whole milk (30 g)

¼ tsp vanilla extract

ml)
·
1 ½ Tbsp sugar (20 g)
Toppings

Instructions
1.
Gather all the ingredients. You will also need a 12-inch
non-stick frying pan (large enough to cook 3 pancakes at the same time) with a
lid.
Make
Fresh Whipped Cream
1.
Prepare ice bath by putting ice cubes and water in a large bowl
and placing a clean and dry mixing bowl over. Add heavy cream and sugar
to keep cool.
2.
I got this silicone splatter cover for the hand held
mixer (also works for immersion blender) on Amazon. You can make one with
aluminum foil too.
3. Whisk
on high speed until medium to firm peaks form. The whipped cream should not be
runny, but soft and fluffy firm. Keep it chilled until you're ready to serve
the pancakes.
Make
Pancakes
1. Separate
egg whites and egg yolks into two different bowls. Put the bowl with egg whites
in the freezer for 15 minutes. Here's why (Read
"1. Chill egg whites (What?!)").
2.
In the meantime, add milk and vanilla to the egg yolks and whisk
until thick and frothy.
3.
Sift the cake flour and baking powder into the bowl. Because we
add matcha powder, make sure to remove 1 tsp (3 g) cake flour after you measure
¼ cup.
4.
Whisk to combine thoroughly (but do not over-mix). Set aside.
5. After
15 minutes, take out the bowl with egg whites from the freezer. The egg whites
should be half frozen. Now start beating the egg whites.
6.
When the egg whites turn frothy and pale white, gradually add in
sugar. Continue to whip the egg whites.
7.
The egg whites will become glossier and firmer. Stop beating
when you lift up the hand mixer and the egg whites stand right up with soft
peaks slightly bending over.
8.
Heat the large non-stick frying pan to 300 ºF (150 ºC) over the
lowest heat. Brush with cooking oil and lightly remove any visible oil
(otherwise the pancakes will have spotty pattern). Keep the heat on while you
combine egg whites and egg yolk mixture.
9.
Take 1/3 of egg whites and add into the egg yolk mixture. Whisk
together (don’t worry too much about breaking air bubbles at this step).
10.
Next, take half of the egg whites and add to the egg yolk
mixture. Gently fold in without breaking the air bubbles in the egg whites.
11.
Now transfer the egg yolk mixture into egg whites. Carefully
fold in two mixtures together without breaking the air bubbles. Make sure to
gently mix the batter thoroughly!
12.
Remember each pancake gets roughly 4 scoops of batter, so that’s
a total of 12 scoops for 3 pancakes. Now, scoop the batter and place on the
frying pan. My recommendation is to use a small ladle (or a serving spoon
that’s bigger than a regular spoon) and make a tall pancake. Next, stack one
more scoop to the first pancake. Then move on to the next two pancakes giving
each 2 small scoops.
13.
By the time all 3 pancakes have 2 scoops, the surface of the
batter is slightly dry already, so you can stack one more scoop on top, keeping
it up high. In the bowl, you should still have roughly 3 scoops left (if you
have slightly more, that’s okay).
14.
Set timer for 6-7 minutes, add 1 Tbsp water in 3 empty spaces inside
the pan and cover with the lid. Water keeps the pancake moist. Please note: the
suggested time is just a guideline and it’s based on the stove and frying pan
that I'm using.
15.
After 2 minutes passed, open the lid, and add one more scoop for
each pancake (or more scoops if you have more batter). Make sure to stack high,
not wide. If the water has evaporated, add a little bit more. Cover with lid
and cook.
16.
After 6-7 minutes passed, using the offset spatula, lift the
pancake VERY GENTLY. If you feel the pancake is stuck, don’t touch until they
firm up a little. If you force it, the pancake will crack in the middle. When
the pancake is ready, you can easily move the pancake. Slightly pull the
pancake to create an empty space and gently flip over with “rolling over”
motion.
17.
Add water in empty spaces and set the timer for 4 to 5 minutes
to cook the other side on the lowest heat.
18. Once
they are nicely browned, transfer the pancakes to your serving plates. Place
fresh cream on the pancakes and top with berries. Dust the pancake with
confectioners’ sugar, a light sprinkling of matcha powder and drizzle with
maple syrup. Enjoy!
