You'll often heart about some pancake houses in Japan that are known for serving up "the perfect pancake." While there are a lot of different varieties, this typically refers to incredibly fluffy soufflé pancakes that use whipped egg whites to get a super silky smooth rise.

Japanese fan of all things tasty and cute, annko (@redbeanjam1210) seems to have whipped up stack of pancakes that may be too perfect to believe, however! annko, who often shares recipes and expertly made sweets with an adorable aesthetic, recently posted a picture of a plate of pancake she made that is being praised as looking like food out of a Studio Ghibli anime or a picture book.

The fluffy, superbly thick, and perfectly round pancakes sure to live up to their anime-like food praise. According to annko, she was able to easily and quickly make these perfect pancakes by using a small 14cm pan. She also used a package of Nissin Wellna's Goku Mochi mix (a particularly thick and moist mixture made for making "mochi-texture pancakes"), and following a simple recipe on the back. She then cooked the super-thick serving up at a slow temperature and let the fluffy dessert do its thing before serving them just as beautiful as they are made!

Adding to the fairy-tale/anime comparisons the meal is drawing was a serving of hot serving of apple tea (thinly sliced apples with lemon juice and sugar), with the apple slices arranged to look like rose petals.
