23 Jan Rice Flour Pancakes with Cloudberry Compote

Posted at 11:46h in Pancakes & Waffles by Thea Tillberg 6 Comments

These last few weeks I’ve been working on a school musical(which I told you about here) and it’s been so much fun but it’s also been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. So much work and stress and so little sleep. Of course it’s sad that all of this will be over in a few days but I’m really looking forward to having normal schooldays again and not coming home at midnight every day.

Unfortunately there’s been no time for baking and the only way I’ve been able to deal with my baking abstinence is by making pancakes. I’ve made both healthier flourless blueberry pancakes and these more indulgent white rice flour pancakes. They’re so fluffy, pillowy and buttery and pair very well with this cloudberry compote.

It’s such a shame that I don’t eat cloudberries more often because they’re so delicious and I love the name. The berries are sweet and sour and are usually served in Sweden with waffles and whipped cream.  They’re also wonderful in this compote sweetened with honey along with these fluffy pancakes.

When I took these photos a couple of weeks ago I had no idea that the perfect time to flip a pancake is when it’s really bubbly and the bubbles stays on the top. I flipped mine like I always have, once a few bubbles starts to form, way too soon and that’s why they didn’t get enough color. I learned this tip when I read an article from bon appétit about the 10 most common pancake mistakes people make. From now on I’ll never flip a pancake too soon, no matter how hungry I am…

And there’s just one more thing I wanted to talk about. The snow! Seriously, Stockholm is so so beautiful right now with a thick layer of snow on the streets. There’s been sleet everywhere for awhile now and it’s just so very depressing. The snow makes me forget that we have about zero hours of sunshine a day… And I don’t even miss summer anymore because the snow is so beautiful!

Notes:

  • If you can’t find any cloudberries you can use raspberries, blueberries or blackberries instead.
  • I like to freeze these pancakes and then reheat them in the oven.
  • Don’t make the batter ahead of time. It contains psyllium husk and will therefore thicken. If you let the batter sit for too long you will get though pancakes. By the way, pancake batter should never be made ahead of time since the baking powder starts making its job once it reacts with the other ingredients.
  • Note that the recipe calls for psyllium husk and not ground psyllium husk.

Rice Flour Pancakes with Cloudberry Compote

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 15-20 pancakes

Rice Flour Pancakes with Cloudberry Compote

Ingredients

    Cloudberry compote
  • 250 ml (1 cup) frozen or fresh cloudberries
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp water (optional)
    • Pancakes
  • 210 g (7,4 oz) white rice flour
  • 160 g (5,6 oz) potato starch
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 400 ml (1 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) whole milk
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40 g (1,4 oz / 3 tbsp) butter

Instructions

  1. I like to start with the compote and then make the pancakes. To make the compote place the cloudberries(frozen or fresh), 3 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp water(optional) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Take it of the heat.
  2. To make the pancakes combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add the eggs, milk, honey and vanilla extract and whisk together. Heat a large non stick pan. Melt the butter in the pan and pour into the batter while whisking. Allow to thicken for a couple of minutes.
  3. Fry 2-3 pancakes at a time, about a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Once the entire top is bubbly, flip the pancakes and fry for another 30-45 seconds. Serve immediately with the cloudberry compote.

    Oh musical is definitely some of the most stressing things in the world 🙂 But a good kind of stress I think.
    I’ve never heard of cloudberries – and I even live right next to Sweden. Solly me. I have to try those some time. They sound so delicious
    I am in love with your photos in this post! You are so damn talented
    Good luck with the rest of the musical!
