Soufflé Pancakes

- Whisk 4 egg yolks and 40g of caster sugar together.
- Sieve in 60g of self raising flour, mix well.
- Whisk 4 egg white with an electric mixer whilst adding 40g of sugar gradually until you get a firm peak.
- Gently fold in 1/3 of the egg white into the mixture, repeat until all the egg white is added and that the mixture is mixed well using a spatula.
- Coat a pan with oil, scoop in the pancake mixture evenly so that it resembles circles with a diameter of approximately 10cm. Close the lid and fry for 1min.
- Add another spoonful of pancake batter onto each of them, close the lid and fry for another 4mins.
- Flip the pancakes, close the lid and fry for another 5mins.
Earl Grey Syrup
- Add 3 earl grey teabags to 100g of boiling water, wait for a few minutes for the colour and flavour to diffuse into the water.
- Sieve the earl grey tea into a saucepan, turn on medium heat.
- Add in 56g of caster sugar, stir until all the sugar has dissolved and it boils.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool, the syrup should have thickened.
Earl Grey Whipped Cream
- Add 150g of whipping cream, 10g of caster sugar and 7g of cooled earl grey syrup into a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk until the cream starts to thicken and leave light marks when the mixer is swirled around.
- Remove 4g of earl grey tea fanning from 2 teabags, whisk until a small stiff peak can be seen when the electric mixer is lifted.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Matcha Whipped Cream
- Add 3g of caster sugar and 8g of matcha powder into 60g of whipping cream, use an electric mixer to whisk until you get a firm peak.
