Ingredients
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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick or greased pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- 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, then flip carefully and cook until the other side turns golden brown.
- 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 visual appeal.
Notes
- Rose water adds a unique floral flavor and can be adjusted according to taste.
- Use pink food coloring sparingly to achieve a pastel shade without overwhelming the batter.
- For fluffier pancakes, make sure to preheat the pan properly before cooking.
- Dried rose petals used for garnish are edible but ensure they are culinary-grade and pesticide-free.
- These pancakes can be easily customized with additional toppings such as honey, syrup, or fresh fruits.
