Start by preparing the puree so it has time to cool down. In a small saucepan, add the raspberries (fresh or frozen), sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries completely break down and release their juice, and the sugar dissolves. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Preparation steps
Raspberry mousse
Remove the saucepan from the heat. To achieve a perfectly smooth puree, strain the hot raspberry mixture through a fine sieve, using a spoon or silicone spatula to push the pulp through. The seeds will remain in the sieve. Set the smooth puree aside to cool completely.
Sponge cake
Prepare the ingredients for the cake. In one large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour along with the baking powder. In another, smaller bowl, very carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Make sure that not a bit of yolk gets into the whites, as this will prevent them from whipping properly.
In a bowl with the egg yolks, add half of the powdered sugar (about 40g), milk, and oil. Using a hand whisk or mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes light, smooth, and slightly fluffy.
Add the sifted flour with baking powder to the whipped egg yolk mixture. Gently mix everything with a whisk or spatula just until the ingredients are combined. Do not mix too long to avoid developing gluten - the batter should be smooth and lump-free.
In a large, perfectly clean and dry bowl, start whipping the egg whites. Use a mixer with clean attachments. Begin at low speed. When the egg whites start to foam, add a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Increase the speed to medium and gradually, tablespoon by tablespoon, add the remaining powdered sugar. Whip until the meringue is very thick, stiff, and glossy. When you remove the beaters, a standing 'peak' should form on them.
Now the most delicate stage: combining the mixtures. Add 1/3 of the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and mix vigorously to loosen it a bit. Then add the remaining foam in two batches, gently folding everything together with a large silicone spatula each time. Use sweeping motions from the bottom of the bowl upwards, rotating the bowl. Mix only until the ingredients are combined and no white streaks of foam are visible.
Frying and serving
Heat a non-stick skillet on the lowest possible burner setting. The skillet should be barely warm. Brush it with a thin layer of oil using a brush or paper towel. Wipe off any excess fat.
Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, drop portions of the batter onto the skillet, forming round pancakes about 8 cm in diameter. Try to pile the batter 'upward', creating small mounds. Leave some space between them, as they will rise. Pour a teaspoon of water into the skillet (not on the batter, but beside it), immediately cover the skillet with a lid, and fry for about 4-5 minutes.
After 4-5 minutes, gently lift the lid. The pancakes should be clearly risen, and their tops set. Using two wide, thin spatulas, very carefully and quickly flip the pancakes to the other side. Cover again and fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden.
Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate immediately. Serve right away while they are warm and the fluffiest. Stack 2-3 pancakes on top of each other to create an appetizing pile. Drizzle generously with the raspberry puree prepared earlier. If you are using optional ingredients, grate some white chocolate on top with a vegetable peeler and decorate with fresh mint leaves.
Fun Fact
The recipe is inspired by Japanese 'soufflé pancakes', which have gained popularity worldwide due to their extraordinary, fluffy texture. Traditional Japanese versions are often cooked in special metal rings to achieve perfectly even and tall shapes. This version is simplified so that anyone can make them at home without specialized equipment.

Tips
Serve the pancakes immediately after frying, stacked on top of each other. In addition to raspberry puree, they go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of thick Greek yogurt, or whipped cream. You can also sprinkle them with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
These pancakes taste best right away. Storing them causes them to lose their fluffiness and deflate. However, if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. They can be gently reheated in a dry pan over low heat, but they won't regain their original lightness.
