- Bakery Breakfast - Showa-era Cafe Style Triple Stack Hotcakes
— Showa-era Cafe Style Triple Stack Hotcakes —
Good morning! ^_^
Today's breakfast is this! ^_^ ♫
I'd like to introduce my family's hotcake recipe.
The kind you'd get at those Showa-era cafes—
Crispy on the outside.
Fluffy on the inside.
These are hotcakes with a subtly sweet, toasted aroma.
Even without baking powder,
you can recreate them perfectly just using the power of eggs and the right cooking method.
This time,
I've served them with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs,
for a bit of an American diner-style breakfast.
Please enjoy these bakery-style hotcakes. ☕️🥞

❹ Baking
Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
Lightly grease with oil,
and wipe it off lightly with a paper towel.
Pour in the batter,
and bake over low to medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Flip when bubbles appear on the surface.
Bake the other side for about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Bake 3 pancakes in the same way.

🍯 Finishing touches
Stack three pancakes.
Place butter on top,
and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
When you cut into them with a knife,
a puff of steam rises from within.
It is a nostalgic breakfast
that reminds me of a Showa-era coffee shop. ☕️
Now, enjoy.
I look forward to another great day today! ^_^
The BGM of white feathers, a staple of our morning at home/
It gives me motivation again today. Forrest Gump ♫^_^🪶🎧
