What is Catalana?

Catalana is (to put it simply) a dessert that originated in Spain. It's made with eggs, sugar, milk, cornstarch, citrus fruit peel, and cinnamon. The key is adding the cornstarch! You cook the batter with cornstarch until it thickens in a pot, sprinkle sugar on the surface, and then caramelize it with a burner until it becomes crispy! It's similar to crème brûlée, but the difference is that it's not baked in a water bath.

I see! So the crispy surface is the sweet and flavorful point! MERCER bis is a famous cafe near Shibuya in Japan, particularly known for its chiffon cakes. They are especially particular about their fresh cream and caramel sauce, and this time, the pancake incorporates these two ingredients, making it irresistible for those who love sweets!

So if you eat these two new products, you can enjoy the flavors of two popular cafes currently trending in Japan. Definitely! If you want to taste the flavors of popular cafes in Japan along with fluffy pancakes, be sure to check out these two new items!
