How to Make Black Sesame Pumpkin Pancakes

Black sesame pumpkin pancakes are a delicious and nutritious treat, blending the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the nutty aroma of black sesame. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh pumpkin, steamed and mashed

- 250g glutinous rice flour

- 2 tbsp black sesame powder

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 cup warm water (or more as needed)

- Cooking oil for frying

Steps:

1. Mix the Dough: Combine mashed pumpkin, glutinous rice flour, black sesame powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add warm water, kneading until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. Shape the Pancakes: Divide the dough into small balls (about 30g each). Flatten each ball into a disc, about 1cm thick.

3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Place the pumpkin pancakes in the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Serving Suggestion: Enjoy them warm on their own, or with a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. These pancakes are not only easy to make but also packed with fiber and vitamins, making them a perfect snack or breakfast option.

Tips: For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. Ensure the dough is not too wet to prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy. Happy cooking!
