Recipe: How to make authentic Japanese pancakes

The Japanese may be famous for their sushi and ramen, but they also probably make some of the tastiest pancakes in the world.

And best of all, making Japanese-style pancakes is as easy as pie, or should I say, pancakes…

Want to impress someone special with a luxurious breakfast? Then you’ll probably want to have this recipe ready, because you’re sure to win their hearts with these!

I’m always on the lookout for good breakfast dishes to make. And in my search, I’ve tried a lot of pancake recipes. And one thing that I’ve learned is that it’s rare to find a good one.

Most recipes turn out too thick and dry, too watery, too crumbly, or just too bland. But as soon as I tried this recipe for Japanese pancakes, I knew I had a winner. They’re so good that now, even the best American-style pancakes with blueberries or chocolate have become a thing of the past.

These pancakes are crunchy on the outside, fluffy and soft in the middle, and mouthwatering to look at.
