Fluffy Mochi Pancakes with Pork Floss
Soft, chewy, and fluffy — these pancakes bring together the best of both worlds! The mochi layer inside makes them bouncy, while the pork floss adds a savory-sweet twist. Perfect for brunch or a fun weekend treat!
Ingredients
- Pancake mix (or make your own from flour, eggs, and milk)
- Glutinous rice flour (for the mochi layer)
- Sugar (to taste)
- Water or milk (for mixing)
- Pork floss (for filling or topping)
- A small knob of butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Make the mochi filling: In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water (or milk) until smooth. Cook in a nonstick pan or microwave in short intervals, stirring until the mixture turns stretchy and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the pancake batter: If using pancake mix, prepare as directed. If making from scratch, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, and a bit of sugar until smooth.
- Assemble and cook: Heat a nonstick pan with a touch of butter. Pour a spoonful of pancake batter, add a bit of mochi in the center, and cover with another spoonful of batter. Cook over low heat until both sides are golden brown.
- Finish with pork floss: Spread a thin layer of butter or honey on top, sprinkle generously with pork floss, and enjoy while it’s warm!

Q1: What makes these pancakes different from regular ones?
The mochi layer inside gives them a unique chewy texture that blends perfectly with the fluffiness of the pancake — soft on the outside, bouncy inside!

A drizzle of condensed milk or honey with a sprinkle of pork floss makes them irresistibly good! You can also add seaweed flakes for a savory-sweet twist. 🍯✨
