Ingredients

• 1 cup Glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 cup Low-sodium milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or additional unsalted butter for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the low-sodium milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or unsalted butter.

Step 5

Pour approximately 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.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes immediately on their own or with low-sodium toppings of choice such as fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
