Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup mochiko (or mochi flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp ube extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions
 

  • COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS. In a large bowl, use a wire whisk to mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • SEPARATE EGG YOLK AND EGG WHITE.
  • BLEND WET INGREDIENTS. Using a whisk mix the coconut milk, egg yok, ube extract, and the melted butter until combined. Set aside.
  • BEAT THE EGG WHITES
  • COMBINE DRY AND WET INGREDIENTS. At this point, you can pour your ube wet mixture into your flour mixture and gently stir. Do not overdo it as it doesn’t have to be a perfectly smooth mixture. It's fine to have blobs of flour remaining in the mixture. Fold the egg whites in the batter.
  • GET PAN READY. Put a medium-sized pan (12 inches) on your stove over medium heat. To test if it’s ready drop a few water sprinkles and verify if they evaporate immediately.
  • COOK THE PANCAKE. Spray some oil into the frying pan coating it and spoon a quarter of the mixture in it. Pour 1 tbsp of water into the pan and cover the pan. In 2 minutes some bubbles will appear on the surface and the edges should be fully set
  • FLIP THE PANCAKE and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat
  • REPEAT THE PROCESS for the other 3 pancakes.
