The Best Ube Pancake recipe!
Using my easy pancake recipe and ube flavoring, you can make this every morning. The purple yam sauce is optional but I highly suggest you try it. The sauce gives the already ube-tasting pancake more ube flavors for you to enjoy.
Why this ube pancake recipe works!
You can either make the pancake mix from scratch using my pancake recipe or you can use boxed pancake mix from groceries.
Double or triple the ingredients to make a big batch. You can place these babies in the freezer and enjoy them everyday of the week.
If you do not fancy making the purple yam sauce (which you’ll regret), maple syrup will also work great.
Some tips for an amiable experience
If you like smooth pancakes like I do, strain the batter after mixing. This will remove lumps that will give you nice and smooth pancakes.
You can substitute ube flavoring with ube halaya, just dissolve in milk before adding to dry ingredients.
For an ube pancake Hawaii experience. Stacked the pancakes to desired height then slather with ube sauce and top with butter or ube ice cream.
