Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 63gm all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup 70gm sweet rice flour like Mochiko Blue Star
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg separated
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt whole yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice I used 2%, I also warmed the milk before combining milk, butter and egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled, plus more for the pan and for serving
  • maple syrup or syrup of your choice for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Separate egg, reserve egg yolk in small bowl. Place egg white in a medium small bowl and whisk until soft peaks are formed.
  • Add the egg yolk, yogurt, milk, and melted butter, and stir until just incorporated.
  • Gently fold egg white into batter.
  • Heat a 10-inch or 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium flame until a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan. Lightly grease the skillet with butter (or flavorless vegetable oil), or if using a non-stick pan, forego greasing.
  • Use a measuring cup or a large ice cream scoop to drop 1/4 cup batter onto the pan.
  • When the edges of the pancake look dry and bubbles begin to form in the center, approximately 2 minutes, flip and cook on the second side until lightly golden, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. If desired, use an ovenproof plate (or a metal rack on a baking sheeand place the finished pancakes in the oven on its lowest heat setting to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
  • Serve immediately, with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

Add rice flour to your pancakes for a delightful twist! The rice flour adds a bit of elasticity and flavor while the pancake is still tender and fluffy. The best of both worlds for these mochi pancakes!
