Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
3/4 cup milk (room temperature)
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for greasing)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the rice cooker: Generously grease the rice cooker pot with butter or neutral oil.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour and cook: Pour the batter into the greased rice cooker pot. Close the lid and start the regular cooking cycle.
Check and repeat if needed: After the cycle ends, check with a toothpick. If not fully cooked, run another short cycle.
Cool and serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before removing. Slice and serve warm with syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Every rice cooker model is different — cooking time may vary.
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg and beat the whites until soft peaks form, then fold into the batter.
Try adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or matcha powder for flavor variations.
