Ingredients
  

  • 50 grams salted butter softened
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 75 ml honey
  • 2 teaspoons white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch sea salt flakes
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 6 tablespoons flour (¾ cup + 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • A little oil to fry

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Non-stick skillet or frying pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric mixer (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened salted butter with maple syrup, honey, white miso paste, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt flakes. Mix well until everything is nicely blended. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of caster sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar until smooth and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  5. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a few lumps to remain.
  6. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly oil the surface. Use a ring mold or a large spoon to pour the batter into the skillet, creating thick pancakes. Cover with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they rise and develop a golden-brown color. Carefully flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  8. Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them high on a plate and serve with a generous dollop of the miso butter. Drizzle with extra maple syrup and honey for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Patience is crucial! Cooking on low heat ensures even cooking.
  • Fold gently to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes to enhance texture.
