Japanese pancakes - super fluffy and delicious

Japan and its specialization
Those wandering the streets of Japan will have already discovered those traditional restaurants that specialize entirely in Japanese dishes. In addition to establishments focusing exclusively on Teppanyaki dishes, Udon, or Ramen, there are also restaurants that have fully devoted themselves to fluffy Soufflé Pancakes. The pancake culture in Japan is extensive, and throughout the country, there are cafes offering a diverse selection of pancakes to their guests.
When it comes to preparing the perfect Japanese Soufflé Pancakes, it's all about the right technique. Instead of spreading the batter flat in a pan, small towers of batter are built with a pastry bag. This creates tall and fluffy Japanese pancakes. It's important that the pan used has a non-stick coating or patina to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the bottom. And to allow the dough pieces to steam-cook and become perfectly airy, a fitting lid is needed.
