Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick but should hold together. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated griddle for each cake. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Remove the cooked griddle cakes and set them aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, jam, or a savory topping of your choice.
