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

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.

Japanese pancakes is too much effort Him: smokes 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.

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

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

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

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 :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Josh! Just made your flap jacks and they were the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Thank you ❤

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

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

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!

I love this guy. He makes the best cooking videos. So addicting.

Did he literally say: *SMOKED maple syrup*

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

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

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

''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.

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🙌

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

Now do a waffles and French toast tutorial for the ultimate breakfast series

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!).

Just tried this recipe and they were delicious 😋! Easy and my family loved them thanks for sharing the recipe!

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

"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?

I've always thought pancakes were fairly straightforward but I switched to this recipe the other day and they were SO much fluffier!

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....

I Love That you got right to the point with this video; no extra commentary 👏

One of the best pancakes I’ve had, thank you for the recipe!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

I enjoy watching your video. I think it’s funny while learning something new. You make cooking so easy and delightful. Thank you.

This is my favourite pancake recipe. A lot of times pancakes are too soft or get mushy when you add maple syrup, if those pancakes are a soft cloud of pancake goodness than Josh's are more like a nice pillow. There's just enough density that it has some texture and it can soak up the syrup without getting to be a mess

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

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

The flapjacks turned out nice n fluffy! Glad I whisked it all n took a chance on these

I love the way you talk about the recipes 🧡

Nah man a good souffle pancake is a thing of beauty

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

Thanks Josh. For beginner's only. This is a great recipe, as no body was born making pancakes. Thanks for sharing.

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 😁

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

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

This is by far the best pancake recipe I've ever tried.

i stumbled upon your page on accident, and watched way too many videos in one sitting. Although I am too lazy to make some of the recipes you made, I am now starving and I thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious-ness(could be a word?) and I am now a happier human for at least today thanks to you.

*laughs in European pancakes*

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.

Best American pancake recipe I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried a LOT . this is the best one yet thank you

Best pancakes ever! Thank you 🥞👏

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

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 did these pancakes the normal traditional ones, and my god i have not been so proud of myself and me and my partner cannot believe the taste and fluffyness of them it was incredable, thank you so much

Thanks for bringing my pancake game to fluff town. I was making over mixed flat pancakes that the family just put up with. Now that I’m throwing down fat boy Megacakes the kids have stopped calling my neighbor dad, and the wifey let me move back into the bedroom. Your my hero Josh.

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...

Fluffiness level: IT"S OVER 9000!!!

Thaaaank you soooo much! I thought we were missing something. I am so happy with our regular pancakes now. Aaaaah...! Such peace...🤗

Trullly amazing recepie! Thank you Josh!

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

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!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I made them for my little brother at 3 am and now i am the best sister the world 😄🥰🥰❤️

I absolutely love these videos.

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

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

Thank you Papa. Excellent for Sunday morning 🙌

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

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

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

Just made the pancakes for my son and wife and they loved them! Thanks

Thank you so much. I haven't actually cooked anything before... Ever. And I messed up and put a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon and they still came out well!

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.

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.

He makes it look so easy

I made this pancakes today and they were delicious! Probably the best recipe I've ever tried in terms of taste but, even though the texture was great, they didn't come out as high and pillowy as Joshua's...but still delicious!!!
