Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp rosewater (culinary grade)
- A few drops pink or rose food coloring (optional)
For Topping:
- Whipped cream or whipped mascarpone
- Edible dried rose petals
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, rosewater, and food coloring (if using).
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix — lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
- Decorate: Stack pancakes, top with whipped cream, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and decorate with dried edible rose petals.
Notes
- Edible rose petals can be found in specialty spice stores or online. Make sure they are food-safe and pesticide-free.
- Add a hint of vanilla or cardamom to enhance the flavor profile.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and vegan butter.
