Japanese Hotcakes Are the Fluffiest Pancakes on Earth (and You Can Make Them)

This isn't a drill: You can make these two-inch-thick, light-as-air flapjacks at home. Without a doubt. Called hotcakes—or hottokēki in Japan—they're best appreciated with a lot of maple syrup, liquefied margarine or whipped cream. Stop and think for a minute, they're overly cushy, yet additionally they absorb vanilla frozen yogurt flavorful sauces like it's nobody's business. 

What do I need? 

A large round cookie cutter 

Non-stick spray

A non-stick skillet and a spatula

2 large eggs, ¾ cup buttermilk 

¼ cup sugar 

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

¼ teaspoon salt, 1½ cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

¼ teaspoon baking soda.

What do I do? 

Blend the eggs, buttermilk, sugar, vanilla extract and salt on low until combined; add the rest of the ingredients and blend until just combined. Heat the skillet over medium-low and coat it with non-stick spray. Coat the inside of the ring too, put it in the skillet and fill it up halfway with batter. Cook the pancake until bubbles appear all over it, gently flip it and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Anddd repeat!
