Glutinous Rice Pancake Ingredients- 250g glutinous rice flour
- 1 egg
- A little sweetened red bean paste (or other sweet bean paste)
- A little crushed peanuts (or chopped nuts)
- 30g sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3g salt
- 200g milk (adds tenderness)
- Butter (for greasing the pan), a small amount
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, crack 1 egg. Add 30g of sugar and 3g of salt. Whisk gently with a whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Add the 250g of glutinous rice flour and mix lightly with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Don’t worry about fully incorporating it yet.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the 200g of milk while mixing until no lumps remain. The batter should be pourable but slightly thick, a bit thicker than pancake batter. The consistency is key for achieving the right chewy texture. Make sure to check the batter’s consistency carefully.
Step 4
Now, add your desired ingredients like sweetened red bean paste (or other sweet beans) and crushed peanuts (or your favorite nuts) to the batter and mix well. These will add a pleasant chew and nutty flavor. Don’t add too much, or the batter might become too stiff.
Step 5
Place a frying pan over low heat and melt a small amount of butter, spreading it thinly over the entire pan. Ladle one portion of the batter into the center of the pan and spread it thinly. Cooking them too thick can result in a dense, mochi-like texture, so aim for a moderate thickness. If you like, you can sprinkle almond slices on top of the batter. Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes. Occasionally lift the pan to check if it’s burning and ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the pancake. Add a little more butter to the pan, then cover with the lid again and cook for another 10 minutes. Once both sides are golden brown and delightfully chewy, your delicious glutinous rice pancakes are ready!
