Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick but should hold together. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 4

Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated griddle for each cake. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the cooked griddle cakes and set them aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, jam, or a savory topping of your choice.
