These Japanese Style Pancakes Are Like Nothing You've Seen Before

Nobody in the world does breakfast quite like Japan.

Traditional Japanese breakfasts consist of grilled fish, dry seaweed, miso soup, steamed white rice, fermented soy beans, salads and other vegetables. For those of us in the United States and elsewhere in the world these kinds of dishes might seem like lunch and dinner—but that doesn't mean you can't find a breakfast in Japan to suit your needs.

Made from mayonnaise, flour, baking powder and more, Japanese style pancakes are sure to be right up your alley. Thick and fluffy, these pancakes are quite the treat to enjoy…especially for that special birthday breakfast.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 butter milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. Japanese mayonnaise
butter, maple syrup, and any other toppings of your choice

Directions:

Combine the self-rising flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl.
Whisk the one egg, butter milk and vanilla extract in another bowl.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and dump the liquid ingredients into it.
Mix it up, add the Japanese mayonnaise and continue to mix until well combined.
Grab a couple of ring molds, grease the inside of them and place them over a frying pan over medium heat. If you don't have any ring molds, you can make some out of a cardboard. Line the inside of them with baking paper and staple them into a large circle, about 4 inches wide and 2 inches high.
Pour the batter into the ring molds and cook for 4 minutes on each side.
Once they're done, remove the pancakes from the heat and pop the pancakes out of their ring molds.
Serve them with the toppings of your choice.
