Who doesn't enjoy going out for brunch on the weekend? I don't know about you, but I'm up for breakfast for any meal of the day. Pancakes for supper? Yes, please. Even better, these fluffy "soufflé" pancakes will make you second guess all your choices of brunches past. They are easy to make at home and you will not be stuck waiting in a crazy line with other hangry patrons. These pancakes are thicker than your average pancake due to the meringue folded in at the end just like you would do when making a soufflé, hence the term. So, whether you're hosting a special occasion brunch or just want to change up your breakfast game, treat yourself and the people you care about with a batch of these babies. Pancake love is self love, too;)

Here's the recipe:
yields 12 pancakes

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 5 tbsp almond milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • vanilla
  • 1 tbsp mayonaise
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • orange zest



In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, baking powder, vanilla, mayo, volks, and zest. Sift the flour and mix until incorporated.



Meanwhile in an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.



Mix one third of the meringue into the first mixture to lighten up the base. this makes it easier to fold in the rest without deflating the mixture and guaranteeing a maximum airy texture.

The final batter will look like this. If you have ring moulds at home, then you can use those to shape the pancakes. I do not have any so i made my own with aluminum foil. In any case when using a mould, be sure to grease it with cooking spray. If the mould route is not for you, you can free form the pancakes. Using an ice cream scoop ensures that they are all uniform and the same size to make stacking easier, of course. Cook them for about three minutes on one side before removing the mould and carefully flipping them to continue on the other side. The first pancake is always for the dog as you will need to see where you need to adjust. Do not over crown your pan. Make a few at a time for the best results.

There you have it, the fluffiest pancakes in the land! I served mine withe amaretto chantilly and strawberries but the possibilities for toppings and how to dress them up are endless. You do you!
