Separate 8 cold egg whites into a bowl and add lemon juice to stabilize them and increase their volume.
Whisk the egg whites with lemon juice by hand for about 8 minutes until soft peaks form.
Gradually add half of the powdered sugar, briefly mix, then add the remaining sugar. Next, add the cornstarch and whisk until firm peaks that hold their shape develop.
Gently fold in 5 egg yolks and a pinch of salt to preserve the batter's fluffiness.
Gradually incorporate the flour, then add a little milk at the end to loosen the batter slightly and give it a glossy finish.
Prepare the maple glaze: over medium heat, melt butter until it turns brown and fragrant (around 190 °C/375 °F) and begins to smoke lightly.
Add reduced maple syrup to the hot browned butter, then remove from heat and stir in light soy sauce to create an intense umami glaze.
Pour the batter onto a nearly new, ungreased non-stick pan—do not spread it to the edges—and cover with a bowl or plate so it cooks slowly over low heat.
Check regularly to prevent burning and cook for 3-4 minutes until edges firm up and the surface is set, then gently loosen the pancake and flip it over.
Cook the second side for about 5-6 minutes covered on very low heat to keep the pancakes airy and avoid any lumps.
