Notes

  • Make It Extra Crispy: For extra crunch, press the pancakes down slightly while cooking and let them cook a bit longer on each side.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Swap all-purpose flour with chickpea or rice flour.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a teaspoon of hot sauce or chopped chili peppers to the batter for a spicier version.
  • Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best results.
  • Serving Suggestions: Enjoy with soy sauce, spicy mayo, or a light salad for a complete meal.
