Ingredients

1 cup glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
Cooking oil for the pan
Toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or matcha powder

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter or oil until well blended.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
