Mochi Pancake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
