Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated white sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups low fat milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until completely blended, ensuring a smooth base for the batter.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and sugar to the wet mixture, whisking until the batter has only small lumps remaining for the best texture.
  3. Prepare Rice Cooker: Lightly grease the interior pot of your rice cooker to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pot, filling only up to halfway to allow room for rising during cooking.
  4. Cook the Pancake: Close the rice cooker lid. If your rice cooker has a timer, set it for 45 minutes. If it only has cook/warm functions, start on cook and then switch to warm as needed until the full 45 minutes of cooking is reached. The pancake will rise and cook slowly during this time.
  5. Check for Doneness: The pancake will have pulled slightly away from the edges when done. The surface might appear moist due to condensation but should feel firm and springy to the touch. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pancake cool for a few minutes before inverting the pot onto a plate. The pancake will release easily, revealing a nicely browned surface ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill your rice cooker pot because the batter rises significantly during cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size and brand of your rice cooker; keep an eye on it to avoid under- or overcooking.
  • If your rice cooker switches from cook to warm before 45 minutes, you can keep pressing cook or let it continue on warm as the pancake will keep cooking.
  • This method provides a unique alternative to traditional skillet pancakes and results in a thicker, cake-like texture.
