Perfect Homemade Pancakes (Japanese Soufflé Vs. American Style) 

Theres extra, then there’s *SMOKED maple syrup*

Josh: soufflé pancakes are not worth the effort Also Josh: *smokes maple syrup for the flex*

You have NO idea how much I (and I'm sure many others) appreciate you saying the grams & ml equivalents as well!

Your pancake recipe is literally our family standard with a touch of vanilla added. Been making these all my life. True classic. All day, Baby!

FWIW, Japanese people don't make those types of pancakes at home for the most part. They're sold in specialty restaurants as a dessert option. The type of pancakes Japanese people make at home (on the rare occasions that they do) are usually from a boxed mix (Morinaga hot cakes is pretty popular). So, they tend to go for the same sort of pancakes that Joshua recommended here.

Normal people: Japanese Soufflé Me: *J A P A N C A K E*

joshua: souffle pancakes arent worth the effort also joshua: would probably harvest and mill his own flour if he could

this will probably get lost in the comments lol, but if anyone sees this add some brown sugar and cinnamon to the pancake batter. thank me later :)

All American recipe: 1 egg 1.5 cups of milk Separate bowl: 2c flour 1/4c sugar 1tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 1tbsp baking powder Add milk mix into flour & whisk in 2tbsp melted unsalted butter Mix and make them pancakes (I did this for myself because I reference this recipe often 😂)

Japanese pancakes is too much effort Him: smokes maple syrup

Literally just made “Just add water” pancakes and now u upload this? Tf do you want from me Josh?

American Pancake Dry ingredients:
-2 cups of all-purpose flour -1/4 cup of sugar -1 tsp of salt -1/2 tsp of baking soda -1 tsp of baking powder Wet Ingredients: -1 egg and 1 1/2 cups of milk Mix everything together and add 2 Tbsp of melted butter

Needs more red bean paste. Send a stack here, I'll test them out.

Josh: Hello my name is Joshua B. Weissman Us: What does B. Stand for... Josh: B-roll

Josh: Let's see if soufflé pancakes are even worth it to make. Also Josh: Uses a smoker to smoke the maple syrup. 😂😂😂

The regular pancake was perfect. This is my new go to. So easy and you don't need alot of ingredients. Lends themselves perfectly to add-ins as the don't take forever to cook but also let the add-ins sink in well. Not dense or think, not too fluffy or crumbly, just...perfect. Thanks alot!

Joshua: there’s more varieties of pancakes then anything on the planet Pasta: am I a joke to you!?

Josh you must say “WHISKEY BUSINESS” because it is the LAW.

“A totally sunken soufflé, and that’s. ✨ D E P R E S S I N G ✨”

I made this recipe using soy milk + a tsp of vinegar to make a buttermilk and 2 tbsp of oil instead of butter. Turned out pretty good!! So a dairy free version snaps too! 🥰

“I’ll have to come yell at you for a while” Clear out the kitchen mom I’m about to mess up some pancakes

"It's not worth the effort" is an unexpected verdict from a guy who just advised me to spend 90$ on a smoking gun, so I can make my mapple syrup taste better. Does anything worth the effort tho? We could live on canned baked beans and tapwater, and wouldn't have to do anything. How comes this is where the line is?

Joshua Weissman: PAPA’S WATCHING! My sleep paralysis demon: Finally a worthy opponent.

love the honesty here. he usually goes the "fancier is better" route, so assumed he'd prefer the soufflé, but this honestly reaffirmed his lack of bias for me. Flavor > Everything, and josh is the boss

Japanese people waiting for the verdict: 🙂🙂🙂 Josh: "HiGhLy OvErAtEd Japanese: "NANI?!!!!"

I made the American pancakes and they were so good. Gave some to my friend and he just texted me "Those pancakes... were amazing." I will definitely be using this recipe from now on, thank you king

Did he literally say: *SMOKED maple syrup*

Usually when I make pancakes, I do the all American recipe except I beat the whites like in the soufflé version. That I would recommend over either other recipe. It’s a little bit more work, but results in fluffy, airy pancakes.

"Lets make this as simple as possible" -Josh 2020

''Let's make this as simple as possible'' -Josch 2020 a minute later: *SMOKED MAPLE SYRUP*

We Californians don't need any smoke guns these days, unfortunately.

Thank you for using both imperial and metric system, way to think international :) Love your videos and all the whisky business, greetings from Latvia ;) I kind of feel tempted to share some info about Russian/Eastern European pancake varieties, maybe someone will be interested to try them :) So we've got syrniki, also called tvorozhniki (syr means cheese in Russian, and tvorog means cottage cheese), and those are fluffy/creamy (yet simple to make) cottage cheese pancakes. We also have buttermilk pancakes more similar to American ones - oladyi or oladushki. They are fluffy too, smaller than American ones, made with milk, kefir or other milk products. There can be different variations of oladushki - with apple, for example, or sour ones with zucchini or pumpkin. We eat oladushki with sour cream, jams, honey. And, of course, we have blini or blinchiki, which are thin pancakes like crepes, and we also eat them with all sorts of fillings - sour cream, jams, honey, caviar, meats, cottage cheese. So pancakes are a big deal in Russia and Eastern Europe, it's basically a national dish)) Man, this comment turned out way longer than I intended, sorry for the pancake rant :D

If your girl is: Plump fluffy and covered in sticky stuff, then that's not your girl, that's the b-roll

“Plump, fluffy, and covered in sticky stuff” JOSH NO! “B-Roll....” ohhh....

Just made the American version of these. Best pancakes I’ve ever made. I went with the weighted measurements. 10/10!

For anyone who does want to try making the soufflé pancakes, while Joshua's recipe is brilliant it's not exactly the way it's made in restaurants, which has an extra ingredient that makes it a lot easier. They actually add a stabiliser to the egg whites, which makes them much less likely to deflate. I'd recommend watching Ann Reardon's video where she debunks Tasty's fake recipe, adds in powdered egg white to make the egg whites much more stable, and cooks it in the oven so it's much lower effort.

As someone who lives in Japan, souffles pancakes are inconsistent here. Some are hard and just decorated with loads of sweets; and there are some really good ones. I have a feeling people just like taking pics of them and upload to instagram. Nonetheless, the best pancakes for me are the old fashion american buttermilk pancakes.

The cake king slings cake: A Series

Every time I want to make food I come to your RU-vid channel. Never fails your instructions and recipe choices are amazing.

Nah man a good souffle pancake is a thing of beauty

“Plump, fluffy, and covered in sticky stuff” *wait a minute*

Joshua: You wanna know what else is plump, fluffy and covered in sticky stuff? Me: I am! Joshua: B-roll Me: Oh... right. Should have seen it coming...

Us getting Josh to say "Whisky Business" is just like that kid that wants Shrek to *do the roar*

Finding cooking videos like this pull a lot of perfectionistic tension off my brain and makes things feel alot easier in context, im excited to try making some of these recipes for my family and evolving my culinary understanding more!

I was about to say: what about the crèpe? But then I remembered Americans don't consider it a pancake :)

*laughs in European pancakes*

I like the speed with which this culinary information is imparted. All RU-vidrs should talk that fast. Saves time.

"the two best pancakes: american and japanese" *Angry european noises*

Joshua: “Do you want to know what else is plump fluffy and covered in sticky stuff..? “ Me: ....ugh.. this wap Joshua: b-roll Me.. yeah that too..

The Japanese soufflé pancake looks so bouncy, soft and delicious. I would prefer that over regular pancakes 😋

Not sure if Josh will ever see this, but thank you for this recipe for American Style pancakes! I just made them earlier this morning and they were un-frigging-believably good! A little backstory--this was my first attempt at homemade, from scratch pancakes. If I had wanted pancakes previously, I did the ol' boxed mix. I had come across plenty of pancake recipes online before and I am sure they are very similar or the same as yours. But, something "clicked" for me after watching your video and I thought to myself, "I can do that!" Granted, I have been on a cooking binge for the past several months. So, part of it could be I have more confidence in myself and my cooking skills. I don't know what it is, but in the end I had some of the best pancakes I have ever had just a few short hours ago.

Not gonna lie, the last time we made the Japanese Souffle Pancakes we were done. Not worth the effort and time. Maybe we messed them up or something but whatever, we agree with you, not enough of a game-changer to overweight all the fails you'll have making these. Also, have you seen your All-American Pancakes? They look pretty fluffy to me. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing.

The way you made the soufflé pancakes look soooo easy to make but I, a person who has failed on making them at least 20 times, know that’s a L I E

Fluffiness level: IT"S OVER 9000!!!

It’s Mother’s Day today & I made the traditional pancakes for my mom & they were absolutely delicious! Thick fluffy tender 🤤 thanks Josh happy Mothers Day

Josh- “I don’t know why you guys freak out when I don’t say whisky business” Us- “This is the way.”

I made the traditional recipe today, the BEST pancakes I’ve ever made in my life! Thank you 😊

I made the regular pancake recipe for my parents and husband they were amazed. Can't recommend it enough! I've tried a few pancake recipes (I don't like boxed pancake mix) and this one has been our favorite.

INGREDIENTS (FLAPJACKS): - Wet - • 1 egg • 1½ cups / 386g of Milk • 2 tbsp / 26g of Butter (Melted and Cooled) * this goes to the very end of the mixture * - Dry - • 300g / 2 cups of All Purpose Flour • ¼ cup / 62g of Sugar • 1 tsp of Salt (fine sea Salt) • ¼ tsp / 1g of Baking Soda • 1 tbsp / 12g of Baking Powder

I’m dairy free and had so much trouble finding a good pancake recipe. They would not be fluffy and light. But this recipe is really good I made it with almond milk and vegan butter instead and it was delicious, light , and fluffy! Thanks Josh

Try dutchbaby pancakes, they are easy to make and amazing, you don’t need a skilled for them either like most recipes ask for. Top them with bromen dark chocolate, raspberry, banana and powdered sugar.

You should do banana bread/different "bread" varieties (even tho it's practically cake) sometime! I struggle to find excellent recipes and love baking it!

The footage at the end is gorgeous. I am making pancakes at a festival so happy I just found that ❤ thank you for helping me make many many people happy

When he said "You know what else is plump, fluffy and covered in sticky stuff?" I thought for a second my webcam was on and he could see me.

I love how he talks to us in a cabinet. Can you imagine someone walking in on that. 😂

There is finally 2 pretty best friends!!!!!

1:28 is Recipe

If there is one thing I learned from watching Joshua it is... That his food is always better

Joshua: Take out a smoker Smoker: SOLD OUT on amazon

"Not worth the extra effort" Then you literally smoke your syrup lmaooo

not tryna brag…but i can make a glass of water by myself

"Plump, fluffy, and covered in sticky stuff..." *starts sweating profusely*

"You wanna know what else is plump fluffy and covered in sticky stuff" I need jesus

I’m literally watching this during a zoom class😂😂💀

Watched this a year or so ago for the traditional / American recipe. Haven't made or eaten pancakes of any other recipe since. They're just too perfect (and easy!).

I've been thinking about making the souffle pancakes for a while. I'm a little discouraged and probably won't attempt it . But Joshua's u.s. pancakes 👌 new fav. Thank you for saving me a heartbreak and filling the hole in my stomach. I love your content.

"Do you wanna know whats plump, fluffy, and covered in sticky stuff?" -Joshua Weissman 2020

josh you just dropped this after i struggled making my own ube pancake recipe for 2 days

I tried this recipe for breakfast today, very tasty 👌💯. One tip, don’t cook your pancakes in salted butter, it gets too salty. Thanks for including gram measurements as well 😁

"Otherwise they'll cave in and I'll have to come yell at you for a little bit. Some people like that, so idk... maybe do it on purpose." Damn Daddy okay I see you 😂

6:02...covered in sticky stuff,B roll.PUM pur um.This guy is a legend😂

My favorite pancakes are with banana. 1 banana, 2 eggs and 1/4 cup of flour, its so simple and tasty. You take a fork and just smash the banana until it melt after u add the eggs and the flour and you just stir. If you want you can also add and others ingredients like baking putter or packing soda or one vanilla.

I used to serve your American pancake recipe in a small food business I had. They were a HUGE hit and extremely popular. Everyone who I make the recipe for is shocked how pancakes can be that good. One of your best recipes for sure

Is it just me or did papi josh sound like every disappointed teacher when he said "idk why you get so stressed when I dont say whiskey business"

I love that he give EXACT measurement. It’s shocking to see how many cooking channels don’t

Watched this with my sister and she said "I want pancakes now" and I suggested we make them so now we're making the "regular" pancakes. Will update afterwards. Update: They were awesome! Great basic pancakes. I always thought you had to add vanilla to pancake batter in order for it to taste good but these 100% do not need it! My aunt, even now, keeps saying that they were so good!

All-America flapjack/Pancake Whisk together • 1 egg • 1 half whole milk In separate bowl add • 2 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup sugar • 1 teaspoon sea salt • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda • 1 tablespoon baking powder Give some whiskey business While mixing combined wet mixture with your flour After mixed combine • 2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter completely mix then set for 5 minutes Add oil or butter to a skillet and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side

One time I said “wiskie business” and the entire room said “jooooosh” So yea it’s stressful when you don’t do it.

Europeans: But where are my thin pancakes? the ones that actually count? The French: Yes, good you didn't make crêpes or called them pancakes

pancake: falls over Josh: STABS Pancake

I came into RU-vid looking for fluffy pancakes and in the back of my head I was thinking if josh weissman doesn’t have a video on this I’m not gonna try it but here we are right where we needed to be

Watching this on 2x speed so it ends before my next class

"you wanna know what else is plump, fluffy, and covered with sticky stuff?" *Shane dawson's cat sweats nervously

Make a series like "but better" but instead you just cook the foods from anime

I make pancakes almost every morning for myself, my wife, and my two daughters. I love to cook, but I’ve never tried making pancakes from scratch. But once we finish the box mix that we currently have, I’m definitely making some homemade mix!

I love how we live in his cabinet 😂

Just tried the American pancakes. They are THE FLUFFIEST yummiest tastiest pancakes. Ever 🤤

Well, I just have a new weekend project: "overrated pancakes"

I've never made American pancakes myself before, so i tried your recipe today and ooooh my god they are so good! Much better than any i've tried at hotels and store bought. They were also super easy to make🙌
