Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup rose water
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Pink food coloring (optional)
Garnish and Serving
- 1 tbsp dried rose petals
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh strawberries (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly mixed to ensure the pancakes rise well and have a light texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, rose water, egg, and melted butter. Mix the batter gently until smooth, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Add Color (Optional): If desired, add a drop of pink food coloring to the batter to give your pancakes a lovely pastel pink hue that complements the rose theme.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick or lightly greased pan over medium heat, ensuring it is hot enough for the batter to sizzle upon contact but not so hot as to burn quickly.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour spoonfuls of batter onto the pan forming pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate, dust generously with powdered sugar, and sprinkle the dried rose petals on top. Optionally, serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a luxurious touch.
Notes
- Rose water varies in intensity; adjust the quantity to suit your taste preference.
- Use fresh milk for best flavor and texture; almond or oat milk can be substituted to make it dairy-free.
- Pink food coloring is optional but enhances the visual appeal of these floral pancakes.
- Ensure the pan is at medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes while cooking them through.
- For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg and the butter with a plant-based alternative.
