Rice Flour Pancake

Rice flour is gaining popularity for its nutritional aspects, collaterally contributing to raise food self-sufficiency rate. Let’s try making pancakes using this rice flour!

Ingredients

Rice flour (Tome Rice Service)：350g
Psyllium：4.5g
Baking powder：9g
Granulated sugar：151g
Whole egg：385g (Net weight)
Honey：14g
Mirin (sweet sake)：10.5g
Water : 280g

Typically, the presence of gluten in wheat flour imparts stickiness to the dough. However, rice flour is gluten-free, necessitating the use of psyllium as a substitute thickening agent.
Psyllium possesses the unique ability to swell into a jelly-like consistency upon absorbing water, and its high fiber content makes it a healthier alternative to conventional thickeners.

How to make the batter

Mix rice flour, psyllium, baking powder, and granulated sugar.

When it is mixed completely, the mixing is done.

Add eggs, honey, mirin, and water, and mix again.
(Alternatively, you can add the pre-mixed mixture all at once.)

Blend at a medium speed until there are no remaining flour clumps, and while mixing, utilize a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

How to cook the batter

Set the Tabletop Pancake Cooker to 190℃.

Apply oil (Bitakatto SL) on the copper cooking surface.

Dispense the batter, then cover.

After 40 seconds, flip it over, cover again, and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds (total cooking time of 1 minute and 10 seconds).

It only takes a short time to make!

When there is too much oil, small dots will appear on the pancakes, so please apply thinly and evenly.

Alternative recipe

You can create thicker pancakes by adjusting the quantity of batter, the temperature setting, and the cooking duration.

Ingredients

Rice flour (Tome Rice Service)：700g
Psyllium：9g
Baking powder：28g
Granulated sugar：300g
Whole egg：560g (Net weight)
Honey：28g
Mirin (sweet sake)：20g
Water : 210g

The process of making the dough is the same as for the thin one!

【the cooking duration and temperature】

Set the Tabletop Pancake Cooker to 160℃.

Apply oil (Bitakatto SL) on the copper cooking surface.

Squeeze the batter, then cover it.

After 2 minutes, flip it over, recover, and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes (a total cooking time of 4 minutes).

Finishing Example

Thick dough topped with fresh cream and blueberries.

Even though the dough is thin, it has a sticky texture and is quite hearty.It may also be tasty when combined with red bean paste.Thick pancakes can be cooked on a copper plate at a lower temperature for a longer time so they do not become overly browned.Since it is a firm dough, it may be a good idea to add a filling or ingredient that is filling!
