Inspired by those super fluffy Japanese pancakes, I decided to try a similar technique and it works!! They are fluffy, soft, sweet pillows of deliciousness. These don’t even need syrup since I literally put the flavor into the batter but melted butter is always recommended 🙂
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp low carb sweetener (I use this)
- 1/4 tsp maple flavor (I use this)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (I use this)
- 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup superfine almond flour (I use this)
- Ghee spray (I use this)
Tools
- 2 mixing bowls
- Hand mixer with regular and balloon whisks (I use this)
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Omelette pan
- Spatula
Instructions
- Separate your eggs – whites in one bowl and yolks in the other
- In the yolk bowl, add your maple flavor, vanilla, cream, and almond flour and mix with your hand mixer with the regular whisk attachments until combined
- Replace the regular whisks with the balloon whisk attachment and whisk the egg whites, baking powder, salt, and sugar on high until medium peaks form
- With your rubber spatula, add a small amount of eggs whites to the yolk mixture and fold until combined. Then pour the yolk mixture into the egg whites and fold until combined – it’s the air that makes these fluffy so definitely use a rubber spatula here and take your time
- Heat an omelette pan on the stove over medium low heat dry for at least a minute. Spray lightly with the ghee and drop 1/4 cup full of batter into the pan. These take a little longer to cook so allow the pancake to cook for about 2 minutes until a gentle shake of the pan has the whole pancake shift. Turn it over and cook on the other side for another 1 minute and 30 seconds until golden brown. Set aside and repeat. The batter makes about 8 pancakes.
- Serve warm (with pats of butter.. yum!)
