How to Make Ube Mochi Pancakes

Ready to dive into the cooking process? Let’s get those pancakes sizzling!

Combine the wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the ube puree, sugar, and eggs. Mix until everything is well combined, about 1-2 minutes should do!
Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mochiko, baking powder, and salt. You want everything to be well distributed.
Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ube mixture, alternating with the milk until it’s all smooth and harmonious.
Get your skillet ready: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat it with butter or oil, this is where the magic happens!
Scoop the batter: Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, pour the batter onto the skillet, cooking a few pancakes at a time (don’t overcrowd that skillet!).
Cook to perfection: Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip those pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm: Enjoy them right off the stove topped with syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. Trust me, your family will be asking for more!

How to Serve This Ube Mochi Pancakes

These pancakes are delightful on their own, but here are a few ideas to take them to the next level:

Top with syrup and fresh fruit: Maple syrup pairs perfectly with the ube flavor, and fresh berries add a lovely tartness.
Add whipped cream: For a dessert-like treat, dollop on some whipped cream and maybe even a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Try a nut butter: A drizzle of almond or peanut butter can take the flavor profile up a notch, creamy and nutty, yum!

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Keep leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
Reheating: The best method? Pop them back in a skillet for a couple of minutes until warm, for that fresh-off-the-griddle vibe. Microwave works too, but they lose their lovely texture!
Freezer friendly: Yes! You can freeze leftover pancakes. Just let them cool completely, stack them in a zip-top bag, and remove as much air as possible before popping them in the freezer. They’ll last for about 2 months!

FAQs

Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before cooking.

What if I can’t find ube puree?
No worries! Sweet potato is an excellent substitute that will still give it that beautiful color, although the flavor will differ slightly.

Can I add other flavors?
Definitely! Switch up the flavors with vanilla extract or a hint of almond extract to elevate the flavor profile even more!
