Tips

Add all of your liquid ingredients into a measuring cup (starting with milk, then the oil, and egg) to save dishes!

What is a neutral oil? Canola oil, vegetable oil, or even avocado oil are “neutral” oils. They have a less strong flavor and tend to not get as smoky when the pan gets hot!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet rice flour, like Mochiko Blue Star
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 4 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola oil works best, but you could use any neutral oil or butter.)

Kitchen Tools Needed: Pan, mixing bowl, measuring cup, measuring spoons, spatula, and whisk.

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to mix together all of the dry ingredients:
    • 2 cups sweet rice flour
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 3 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
  2. Add all of the liquid ingredients, and use the same whisk to stir everything together, until you can’t see any more dry ingredients:
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 large eggs
    • 4 tablespoons of neutral oil
  3. Heat a 10-inch or 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan.
  4. Add ½ tablespoon of butter or neutral oil to the pan.
  5. Use a measuring cup to drop ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.
  6. When the edges of the pancake look dry and bubbles begin to appear in the center, about 2 to 3 minutes, flip it over and cook on the other side until lightly golden, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  7. Remove and place on a plate; repeat with the remaining batter.
