The Impossibly Fluffy Japanese Pancakes You'll Soon Be Obsessed With

https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/japanese-fluffy-pancakes-trend-souffle-pancakes

The first thing you notice upon arrival at Gram Cafe in Harajuku is that the air smells like butter and sweet maple syrup. It’s just the thing to get you in the mood for their best-selling item, premium soufflé pancakes -- stacked three high -- that jiggle and dance captivatingly as they’re placed in front of you.

 

Eating at Gram was one of the best pancake experiences I have ever had in my life. The cafe limits their servings of fluffy soufflé pancakes to only 60 people per day, at designated times, which requires diners to line-up early (at least an hour or two to guarantee a spot) and request a coveted meal ticket to ensure they get one of the pancakes that are currently filling up Instagram feeds. You might be skeptical, but let me tell you, the pancakes are well-worth the effort.

 

Is it a soufflé? Is it a pancake? It’s a heavenly mix of both. The pancakes are slow cooked on low heat and whipped full of air, resulting in a fluffy texture befitting of a cloud or pillow. They’re delicious in their simplicity, relying only on high-quality ingredients, technique, and a bit of butter and syrup to make the pancakes shine.

 

It’s been disputed among Japanese food bloggers who originally began the fluffy pancake trend, but since Gram began serving up their version of soufflé pancakes in Osaka, where they originated, the eye-catching pancakes -- and their own storefronts -- has exploded with popularity. Gram has opened up shops in Hong Kong, Thailand, and its first US location in San Francisco is set to open soon.

Made the mistake of watching that Brenton Tarrant video, or whatever his name is. Can't unsee it now, 

But it got me thinking -Social Media is so quick to take down any football stream/.goal that infringes the football money men, yet livestream murdering 50 people and its easily found and shared.

This sums up the state of this forum. Discuss anything ? fair play to FB he posts about the atrocities in New Zealand the last two pages are a two way conservation about sunglasses, furniture, and Japanese fluffy fucking pancakes. I've just got back from the pub and there were ten of us aged between 20-55 and honestly we'd didn't talk about the game just fluffy pancakes because that's what football fans do in the pub. I heard there was a massive row in a pub in Millwall today about the pros and cons and of Chesterfield chairs. Apparently someone was attacked with a Millwall brick at Everton today but after reading this section of the forum the attackers had the good grace to use a copy of Harper's Bazaar  

Talk Chelsea ? it used to be now it's just a one person assault of dreary lets buy him him and him for millions of pounds because I think we should and like a politician I'll wear you down with my never ending tedium and I'm so bored of this billionaire I want a better more shiny richer one even though the one I want is a Man United fan who's fucked off to Monaco.

Yes I/m always going on about the league cup final between Man City and Wolves. Seeing as this is the second time I've posted in five months I think that's a slight exaggeration if only you posted so infrequently. Anyway can you post some more pancake recipes it would be so like totes amazeballs if you did you hun.

You can post on anything you whish in a non football forum and I think 99.99% us will not only not critique it so harshly as you just did, but will welcome your contribution

do you really hate Japanese pancakes that much? (I m having a laugh there Iggy)

I don't dislike you at all, all I ask is some open-mindedness and sheesh, why make my posts the symptomatic focal point of whatever you don't like? 

95% of my posts are about footie (including old school shit)

I post a lot of music

and occasionally toss some au courant things in here (The Pub)

Got you thinking, but what's the conclusion? Do you think there's a conspiracy? I have a friend who was a soldier in Afghanistan and he told me after the video that there is no f.. way that this guy have no gun-history at all, no random dude who plays with FPS kills like that.

I never look for football streams in social media, I don't know how much they shut them down, but lasttt weekend's attacks took like 12-13 minutes.. Facebook has billions of users, each of them can live stream, so it's impossible to track everyone down that quick.

The premier league can disappear a YouTube video of that days goals quicker than the babysitters boyfriend when a car pulls up. Of course the bloke has gun history -have they said he hasn't ?

The horrible thing is kids have been sharing the video at school..... once seen you can't unsee it.

That's not the same. They have algorythms which track down licensed stuff automaticly. It's like Premier League coverages had a watermark can't be seen nor heard but YouTube knows in the moment you upload it. Facebook have billions of users, each of them can stream live. This was a random dude making a live video with his phone, no licensed stuff, they have only shut it down buy a human moderator. But after something is uploaded and then downloaded by some people it cannot be stopped from spreading. Saw it too.

Yeah, he had guns purchased leagally, but he was a personal trainer who travelled a lot - and my friend meant serious gun history, like military.

Tarrant travelled a lot - he visited Hungary too last year - and it looks like even his family is clueless about what he did in these years.

Still what a fucking loser eh ? I reckon he has Small Man Syndrome to something so cowardly. 

Or do you think it was OK ?

You could try to be a bit more positive though my sweet lady. A lot of your posts in recent times remind me of those doom-mongers on the streets yelling "the end is nigh!" It might be true but it's still depressing to get slapped in the face with truth bombs regularly. I know our current state is dire, but, you know, having it repeated daily is not gonna change that unfortunately.

Obviously not, I strongly reject and judge any hate related actions, especially horrors like this. The only violence I like is when Chelsea trashes their opponents  So Europa League this year.
