Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ube powder or 1/2 cup ube puree
  • 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, baking powder, sugar, and ube powder or puree. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps but not overmixed.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto the skillet, keeping some space between each. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
  4. Serve Warm: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings or sides for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh ube or quality powder for best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
  • Maintain medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flours and improve texture.
  • Keep pancakes warm by using low oven heat or covering with foil if cooking in batches.
