When it comes to breakfast, if you were to ask the majority of people which nation was famous for it’s breakfast pancakes, I would bet nearly everyone would say the United States of America. But once you see the remarkable video below you may well be changing your mind. And the country who has taken over the pancake crown at least in my mind is Japan. I bet you didn’t see that coming, but then, neither did I. The pancakes they make are bigger, better and twice as fluffy as their American cousins, yeah controversial I know but wait and see.
If you have some guests over and make them these pancakes you will totally blow them away. Perhaps you are throwing a birthday party, or maybe a baby naming party, either way just ensure you make plenty of them because they are absolutely delicious. The outside of the pancake ends up being really crispy, but as your teeth sink into them, they are probably a little sweeter than what you are expecting. The only warning I will give you is once you try these pancakes, all others will never be the same, take my word for it……you have been warned. Follow the recipe and video below to try your very own Japanese breakfast.
