Fluffy Japanese Pancakes with Grilled Nectarines

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Japanese
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • sprinkle of salt
  • 2/3 cup vanilla soy milk
  • 2 tbsp Barleans butter-flavored coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk + 2 egg whites
  • ~1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 nectarines sliced
  • maple syrup optional

Instructions

  • Whisk the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the soy milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg yolk together in a separate bowl.
  • Beat together the egg whites + cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (~2min), then stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined.
  • Gently fold in the beaten egg white mixture.
  • Ladle ~1/4 cup of batter onto a nonstick skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bottom is golden in color, then flip and cook for ~1 min on the other side.
  • On a grill pan, add sliced nectarine and cook for a few minutes until softened.
  • Serve together with maple syrup (if desired).

Notes

If you have ring molds, ladle the batter into the ring mold and cover the skillet with a lid. You'll want to cook it until the batter rises to the top of the ring molds. After the bottom gets golden, flip the pancake and cook for ~5 min, then transfer to a plate.
(P.S. Serving size says 6, but this recipe basically makes ~10 thin or 4 thick pancakes!)
