Japanese souffle pancakes are all the rage right now in the San Francisco area. When done correctly, the Japanese-style pancakes are extremely airy and fluffy; almost like eating a cloud. We had some of the real deal this past spring when traveling in Kyoto and the texture is really special. Unfortunately, Goen’s take leaves a lot to be desired on the texture front. While I don’t believe these are intended to be exactly the “souffle” style, the pancakes were a bit on the dry side. The dryness of the pancakes is helped by the cream cheese, maple butter, and maple syrup (which we requested to have). While the texture was a letdown, I did enjoy the flavors.
