Wiggle it, just a little bit with these Japanese pancakes

 

Japan is awesome.  From the toilets to the bullet trains and here you can try making some Japanese pancakes.  These aren’t as quick as traditional pancakes but are oh so tasty.  Light and fluffy serve them with fresh fruit, cream or some maple syrup 😍

Fred was very interested in these pancakes.
