If you like to brunch or in any case take the time to make a proper breakfast, then the following info should make your mouth water:the latest trend, whether in trendy places around the world or of course Instagram is for "fluffy pancakes", or puffy pancakes. Visually, these "fluffy" delicacies are halfway between the soufflé and the classic pancake. Suffice to say that they are highly instragrammable (nearly 50 K of posts tagged #fluffypancakes), especially when accompanied by fresh fruit, fresh cream, maple syrup or even melted chocolate…
If the pancakes come from the USA, the “fluffy” are of Japanese inspiration. They are also found in many Japanese restaurants, but also in the United States (not yet in France, too bad!). The secret of their softness and lightness? When making the dough, separate the whites and yolks from the eggs, and whisk the first ones (you can also do this for pancakes, according to Christophe Beuriot's delicious recipe, revealed by Fine Dining Lovers ). You can even unbalance the mixture, so as to have a little more whites than yolks, to air the dough even more (be careful not to whisk too hard, at the risk of causing it to fall back).
We end with some photos that should definitely convince you...
