Fluffy Japanese Pancake

I recently heard of Japanese souffle pancake from my niece. She asks me if I can make one when she visits us. I have never tried one so I search the internet and found several sites and videos about it.

The ingredients and procedures on how to make it, reminded me of a Filipino pastry called "mamon" (chiffon cake).

This Japanese pancake souffle is basically made of egg yolks, egg white and other ingredients combined. It is also best to garnish it with banana, strawberry, jams or whipping cream.
