Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup rose water
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Pink food coloring (optional)
For Serving and Garnish
- 1 tbsp dried rose petals
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh strawberries (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, rose water, egg, and melted butter. Mix all ingredients together until the batter is smooth and uniform in consistency without any lumps.
- Color the Batter (Optional): If desired, add a drop of pink food coloring to the batter and stir gently to achieve a soft pastel hue that complements the rose flavor.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick or greased pan over medium heat. This ensures a good cooking temperature to avoid sticking and cook the pancakes evenly.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated pan to form individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the first side is done. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate. Dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with dried rose petals for an elegant presentation.
- Optional Serving Suggestions: Serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on the side for added flavor and a beautiful visual appeal to your rose water pancakes.
Notes
- Rose water adds a subtle floral aroma and flavor; adjust quantity to taste but avoid overpowering the pancakes.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pink food coloring is optional and intended only for aesthetic enhancement.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based milk and butter alternative.
- Ensure pancakes are cooked on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
- Fresh strawberries and whipped cream can be substituted with other fresh fruits or toppings according to preference.
