TOOLS FOR MAKING MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKES:

To make matcha soufflé pancakes, you’re going to need a few specific tools to help you get the best results. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Sifter
• Lidded non-stick skillet
• Rubber spatula
• Pastry rings: for cooking the pancake batter. These will ensure you get tall, rounded, and fluffy pancakes! Make sure they’re at least 3 inches wide and 1 ½ inches tall. Alternatively, use a small (BPA free) can with the top and bottom removed, if you don’t have pastry rings.

HOW TO MAKE MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKES

Let’s lay out the basic steps for making matcha soufflé pancakes:

STEP ONE: MAKE THE BATTER

Separate the eggs- yolks in a mixing bowl, whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. To the yolks, add sugar, vanilla, and baking powder. Combine, then add in the matcha, cake flour, and milk.

STEP TWO: WHIP THE EGG WHITES

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, add the egg whites, lemon juice, and salt. Beat the egg whites until foamy, then add remaining sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until glossy, stiff peaks form.

STEP THREE: FOLD IN THE EGG WHITES

Using a rubber spatula, gradually fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until no streaks remain.

STEP FOUR: COOK THE PANCAKES

Grease your skillet, place your pastry rings in, and ladle about ½ cup of batter into each ring. Place the lid on top of the skillet and cook on low heat until bubbles appear on top and they start to rise. Gently flip the pancakes in their rings by sliding a spatula underneath and placing another one on top and flipping quickly. 

TOPPINGS FOR MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKES

Last but not least, dress up your pancakes! You can use maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or whipped cream to take these matcha soufflé pancakes to the next level.

That’s what we call a happy Valentine’s Day!
