Ingredients

Coffee Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter

Rose Water Maple Syrup

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (pure if possible)
  • 1-2 tsp rose water

Instructions

Coffee Pancakes

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and coffee.

  2. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, milk, and butter.

  3. Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet mixture. Whisk together until combined but do not over whisk, some lumps are normal.

  4. Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

  5. In the meantime, heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat.

  6. Lightly grease the skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Using a 1/4 cup to measure out the pancake batter, add it to the skillet, pouring in a centered stream so it forms a circle. Repeat with remaining batter 2 at a time so as not to crowd the pan for flipping purposes.

  7. Cook pancakes about 2-3 minutes on each side, or flip once you see bubbles begin to form.

  8. Once pancakes are a perfect golden brown serve hot with a dab of butter and rose water maple syrup.

Rose Water Maple Syrup

  1. Combine the 1/3 cup maple syrup with 1-2 teaspoons of rose water in a small bowl and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Feel free to add more or less coffee depending on how much flavor you would like your pancakes to have.
  • Rose water has a very strong and distinct flavor, so start with a teaspoon and work your way up.
  • The use of 100% pure maple syrup is ideal, but any kind will do.
