Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup ube powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp oil
Optional Toppings
- Blueberries
- Chocolate sauce

For Cooking
- Oil (for frying the pancakes)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all the ingredients required for the purple pancakes to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and 1 tablespoon of oil thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift or mix the all-purpose flour, ube powder, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Heat Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with a small amount of oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Cook Pancakes: Scoop portions of the batter into the warm oiled skillet, forming several mini pancakes without overcrowding the pan to allow proper cooking.
- Flip Pancakes: Once the edges of the pancakes look set and defined, carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side for about half the time of the first side until fully cooked through.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the ube pancakes immediately, drizzling with chocolate syrup and topping with blueberries and pink sprinkles as desired for a colorful finish.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; lumps are okay.
- You can adjust sugar quantity depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Mini pancakes ensure even cooking and are easy to flip.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking.
- Optional toppings add variety but pancakes are delicious on their own.
- Make sure skillet is not too hot to prevent burning or undercooking.
