Here's a simple recipe for making Japanese style fluffy pancakes

A while back I posted about the kind of fluffy pancakes you can get in Japan and how one guy said he makes them in a rice cooker. I still haven't tried it yet, but here's a simple recipe that I'd like to try from Kitchn:
Here's how to make it at home: All you do is grease the insides of your rice cooker, pour your pancake batter in, set it to "cook/warm," close the top, and for a 10-cup rice cooker, set the timer for 45 minutes or so, keeping an eye on it. Don't worry if the giant pancake appears "wet" when you open the top. It's just condensation from the steam. But do yourself a favor and give it a touch: it should feel firm and bouncy.
