Best 4 Leftover Rice Pancake Recipes

LEFT OVER (LEFTOVER) FRIED RICE LATKES OR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the egg and rice.
• Add flour a tablespoon at a time and stir to combine. You want it to be sort of stiff so it will hold together. You may need more or less flour than called for.
• Pour a little oil into a frying pan; about half way up the side of the pan. Heat on medium.
• I used a small ice cream type scoop, a little over a tablespoon in size, too drop a little of the rice mixture into the hot oil. Press down a little with the back of the spoon to flatten. My rice had water chestnuts and baby corn in it, so I didn't flatten too much.
• Fry until browned on one side then flip and fry the other side until brown.
• Drain on a paper towel lined plate until ready to serve. You can keep them warm in the oven until they are all done.
• Serve warm with your favorite sauce.

WILD RICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook the wild rice according to the package instructions. (Do not add salt or cook it in broth; just cook in plain water.) Set aside.
• Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring very gently until just combined. Add more milk if the batter seems too thick. It should definitely be thick but easily pourable. Add the melted butter to the batter, stirring gently to combine. Gently stir in the cooked wild rice. (Add half at first and see how you like the looks of the batter. Then slowly add in as much as you want.)
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add some butter. Pour large spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet and cook until the pancakes are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Cook the sausage links according to the package instructions.
• Serve the pancakes with an obscene amount of butter and warm syrup, along with some strawberries, melon chunks and blueberries.

RICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Measure 1 1/2 cups cooked cold rice into a big bowl. (You can use rice up to a week old, but any older than that is too old to eat.).
• Use a fork or potato masher to mash the rice for a minute or two. This is a tiny bit of a nuisance, but it is what gives the pancakes their special texture. After the rice has been mashed a little, then add the rest of the ingredients. Use a whisk to stir everything up until it makes a light and creamy batter. If you want to use yogurt as your milk product, the batter may be very thick, depending on the thickness of your yogurt. Water may be added, to thin the batter. Use your best judgment if the batter seems very thick to you.
• Fry these in a hot skillet or griddle, turning them whenever they are brown on the bottom. Use about 1/4 cup batter per pancake, to keep them small and manageable. They are so tender, that frying big ones is a little tricky, so keep them on the smallish side.

SAVORY RICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow rice to cool.
• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked rice, salt, pepper, and chives or onions, if desired.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Using a 1/2 cup measure, spoon pancake shaped scoops of rice mixture into hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
