Japanese Fluffy Pancakes

I am happy to share Japanese Pancakes.  I was visiting Jenna's blog, The Painted Apron and her son had made her breakfast with Japanese Pancakes.  I was hooked.

Who doesn't love a fluffy light and airy pancake? You can use a large cookie cutter, mini cheesecake mold, ring molds, tin cans, etc. I am using my mini heart springform pans for the heart pancakes. The round pancakes are made by using the 3X3 Dessert Mold below.

The secret is whipping the egg whites.  I am going to try my Banana Nut Bread Recipe this way.  My recipe calls for whipped egg whites, so I know it will be tasty.

*Another recipe is using Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie), which I purchased on Amazon. I know adding mayo sounds awful, however Mayonnaise is made from egg & oil.  The vinegar is the ingredient that makes the funky smell.  Baking vinegar, the smell and  taste are cooked off.  So if you are feeling adventurous, you can try adding Mayo. Here is the recipe for her Japanese Pancakes.
