Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups low fat milk
Instructions
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended to ensure a smooth base for your batter.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the flour, baking powder, and sugar into the wet mixture. Whisk gently until only small lumps remain to avoid overmixing, which could toughen the pancake.
- Prepare the Rice Cooker: Grease the interior pot of your rice cooker thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter inside, ensuring it does not exceed halfway if your cooker is small, as the batter will rise during cooking. Close the lid securely.
- Cook the Pancake: Set your rice cooker to cook mode for 45 minutes, or use the timer if available. If your cooker switches from cook to warm early, leave it on warm to continue cooking, as the heat will gently finish the batter. Monitor occasionally as timing may vary based on your model.
- Check for Doneness: Once cooked, the pancake will pull from the edges and appear slightly wet on the surface due to condensation. Press gently—the pancake should feel firm and springy. Insert a toothpick to confirm it comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pancake cool briefly, then invert it onto a plate; it should slide out easily with a brown, evenly cooked surface, ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure not to overfill the rice cooker pot to allow space for the pancake to rise during cooking.
- If your rice cooker switches to warm before the 45-minute mark, keep it on warm as it will continue gently cooking.
- Use a toothpick to test doneness to avoid an undercooked center.
- Greasing the pot well is essential to prevent the pancake from sticking and breaking when removing.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet pancake.
