Ingredients

Scale

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

Optional Additions & Garnish

  • Pink food coloring (optional, 1 drop)
  • 1 tbsp dried rose petals (for garnish)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Fresh strawberries (for serving)
  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add milk, rose water, the egg, and melted butter. Stir gently until the batter is smooth with no lumps, being careful not to overmix for tender pancakes.
  3. Add Coloring (Optional): If you desire a light pink pastel hue, add a single drop of pink food coloring and mix gently to blend the color evenly.
  4. Heat Pan: Preheat a greased skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour the batter onto the hot pan in small rounds. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  6. Stack and Garnish: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar and sprinkle with dried rose petals for a fragrant and visually appealing finish.
  7. Serve: Serve warm with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Rose water adds a subtle floral aroma; use food-grade rose water suitable for culinary use.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly if batter feels too thick or thin to achieve desired pancake consistency.
  • Use a non-stick pan or griddle for best results to avoid sticking during cooking.
  • Fresh toppings such as strawberries and whipped cream complement the rose flavor beautifully.
  • Pancakes are best served immediately to enjoy their fluffiness and delicate textures.
