Instructions

  1. Blend the lukewarm cooked rice with the lukewarm water until you have a smooth porridge.
  2. Add the yeast, sugar and salt, then mix well.
  3. Cover and leave to ferment for 4 to 6 hours in a warm place, until the batter is bubbly and has doubled in volume.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and oil it very lightly.
  5. Pour in a ladleful of batter and spread it into a round about 12 cm across.
  6. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, until the top is dry and the edges lift away from the pan.
  7. Flip the pancake quickly if needed and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve warm.
