Instructions

  1. Mix the rice flour, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cardamom in a bowl.
  2. Add the milk and melted butter little by little, whisking, to get a smooth, runny batter, like thick pancake batter.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in a small ladleful of batter, spreading it into a circle.
  4. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges pull away, then flip and cook for 1 more minute.
  5. For the topping, heat the milk with the sugar and butter until you get a creamy syrup.
  6. Roll up the pancakes, drizzle with the warm syrup and serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Savoury version. Leave out the sugar and fill the pancakes with sautéed potatoes spiced with herbs.
