Sweet Taro Pancakes Recipe
These Taro Pancakes are soft and fluffy and go perfectly with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream. They may not be purple in color, but they are packed with taro flavor!
Ingredients
Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup taro bubble tea powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ⅓ cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
For Serving
- whipped cream
- maple syrup
- steamed taro
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, taro powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, and whisk until homogenous.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minutes at high speed. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and quickly mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. There should be plenty of lumps. This will give us taller and fluffier pancakes.
- Preheat a skillet with butter or oil over medium heat. Use a paper towel to wipe the oil evenly across the pan. Drop a ¼ cup of batter and cook on one side for about 2 minutes or until bubbles form and break. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Serve with whipped cream, maple syrup, and steamed taro.
Notes
Taro bubble tea powder can be purchased from Asian grocery stores or on Amazon.
