Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

Last weekend, I found myself in a cozy little café in downtown Seattle, where I first encountered the ethereal delight that is Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes. Their cloud-like texture and delicate sweetness instantly won me over, and I knew I had to recreate them at home. After a few trials (and a couple of flops), I’ve perfected a recipe that’s just as airy and delicious as the ones that inspired me.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cake flour, sifted
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large pasture-raised eggs, separated and at room temperature
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
• Clarified butter, for greasing

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour and baking powder until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, granulated sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually fold this into the dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter until just incorporated.
3. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over the lowest heat setting and lightly grease with clarified butter. Spoon the batter into the skillet, forming tall pancakes, and cover with a lid.
5. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, covered, until golden and set.
6. Remove from heat and serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.

My kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of vanilla and butter as these pancakes cooked, and the first bite was pure bliss—light as air with a subtle richness. For an extra special touch, try serving them with a side of freshly whipped cream and seasonal berries.

Classic Crème Brûlée

Having spent countless evenings perfecting the art of dessert making, I’ve come to realize that few things are as universally beloved as a well-made Crème Brûlée. It’s the kind of dessert that feels both luxurious and comforting, a perfect end to any meal.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• 5 large pasture-raised egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for caramelizing
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and place a kettle of water to boil for the water bath.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and vanilla bean seeds over medium heat. Heat until just simmering, then remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and sea salt until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
4. Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a smooth custard.
6. Divide the custard evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Tip: The water bath ensures gentle cooking for a silky texture.
8. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days, to fully set.
9. Before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it’s golden and bubbly. Tip: Hold the torch at a slight angle and keep it moving to avoid burning the sugar.
10. Let the brûléed sugar harden for a minute before serving. Tip: For an extra touch, serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of raspberry coulis.

Each spoonful of this Crème Brûlée offers a delightful contrast between the crisp, caramelized sugar top and the creamy, vanilla-infused custard beneath. It’s a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, especially when you get to wield that torch!

Portuguese Egg Tarts

Craving something sweet but not overly indulgent? Portuguese Egg Tarts have been my go-to dessert lately, blending a crispy, flaky crust with a creamy, custard-like filling that’s just the right amount of sweet. I stumbled upon this recipe during a trip to Lisbon and have been tweaking it to perfection ever since.

Ingredients

• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten

2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 12 rounds and press into the muffin tin cups.
5. In a saucepan, heat whole milk with a cinnamon stick over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
6. Discard the cinnamon stick, then whisk in granulated sugar until dissolved. Slowly add the lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs and vanilla extract, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
7. Divide the custard mixture among the dough-lined cups, filling each three-quarters full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
9. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Last but not least, these tarts are best enjoyed the day they’re made, when the contrast between the crisp pastry and silky custard is at its peak. For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

• 1/2 cup whole milk

2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of clarified butter, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
3. Dip one slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 20 seconds on each side for maximum absorption without becoming soggy.
4. Transfer the soaked bread to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding the remaining clarified butter as needed to prevent sticking.
6. Serve immediately, drizzled generously with pure maple syrup.

Just like that, you’ve got a plate of French Toast that’s crispy on the outside, custardy on the inside, and dripping with sweet maple goodness. For an extra touch, top with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar to elevate this classic breakfast dish.

I remember the first time I whipped this up, the kitchen filled with the warm, spiced aroma of nutmeg and vanilla, transforming it into my personal winter wonderland. It’s become a cherished tradition in my home, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

3. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
4. With the mixer on low, gradually add the lightly beaten eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Gently fold in the eggnog, freshly grated nutmeg, and vanilla extract until just combined. Tip: Overmixing can introduce too much air, leading to cracks in your cheesecake.

Egg Yolk Cookies (Dulce de Leche)

Never have I stumbled upon a recipe that marries simplicity with indulgence quite like these Egg Yolk Cookies with Dulce de Leche. It was during a lazy Sunday afternoon, rummaging through my grandmother’s old recipe box, that I found this gem.

3. Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the lightly beaten pasture-raised egg yolks and pure vanilla extract. Gently mix until a dough forms. Tip: Avoid overworking the dough to ensure tender cookies.
5. Divide the dough into 24 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche. Tip: For easier filling, warm the dulce de leche slightly to make it more pliable.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Tip: Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning.

Sweet Scrambled Eggs with Honey

Every morning, I find myself reaching for the same comforting ingredients to start my day, but today, I decided to sweeten the deal—literally. Sweet Scrambled Eggs with Honey is my latest breakfast obsession, combining the creamy texture of perfectly cooked eggs with the floral sweetness of honey. It’s a simple twist that transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Ingredients

• 4 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp clarified butter
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the pasture-raised eggs until the yolks and whites are just combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the clarified butter, allowing it to melt evenly across the surface.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for 20 seconds to begin setting.
4. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from one side of the skillet to the other, folding them as they cook to create soft curds. Continue this process for about 3 minutes, or until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny.
5. Drizzle the honey evenly over the eggs, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold gently to incorporate the honey and seasoning without breaking the curds too much.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are creamy and just set, about 30 seconds after adding the honey.

Kindly note, the key to this dish is not overcooking the eggs; they should be luxuriously creamy with a subtle sweetness from the honey. Serve this atop a slice of artisan toast or alongside fresh berries for a breakfast that feels indulgent yet effortless.

There’s something undeniably comforting about the warm, aromatic embrace of pumpkin spice as the seasons change. I remember the first time I experimented with pumpkin spice custard; it was a chilly autumn evening, and the rich, velvety texture paired with the spices was nothing short of magical.

Ingredients

• 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease six 6-ounce ramekins.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and whole milk, heating until just simmering, about 5 minutes. Tip: Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
4. Gradually pour the warm pumpkin mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs. Tip: This prevents the eggs from curdling.
5. Divide the custard evenly among the prepared ramekins and place them in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Tip: The water bath ensures gentle, even cooking.
7. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.

Velvety smooth with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, this pumpkin spice custard is a fall favorite. Serve it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or warm for a comforting dessert that feels like a hug in a bowl.
