On another episode of HellthyJunkFood we compete against each other to see who can make the best pancakes.  Julia creates souffle’ pancakes, AKA fluffy pancakes, and JP experiments in deep frying pancakes.  Which recipe is the best?  Make sure to vote on the poll on the Youtube video.

Ever since we got a chance to taste Japanese Fluffy pancakes Julia has been convinced they are the best.  This recipe is so light and fluffy and by far a superior pancake to the traditional pancake.
