Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the black sesame paste: Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then grind to a fine powder using a spice grinder or food processor. Mix with honey and warm water until a thick paste forms.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the black sesame paste until evenly distributed. Batter will be thick and slightly streaked with sesame.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 7

Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.

Step 8

Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve pancakes warm, topped with syrup, a sprinkle of toasted black sesame seeds, and optional extras like berries or whipped cream.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra nutty flavor, use pre-made black sesame paste (neri goma) from Asian markets instead of making it at home. Ensure your skillet is well-heated before pouring the batter to ensure the best rise and texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To make the pancakes vegan, substitute the egg with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2½ tablespoons of water, and use plant-based milk and oil instead of dairy. You can also swap the honey for maple syrup in the paste.

Serviervorschläge

These pancakes pair exceptionally well with a warm matcha latte or jasmine tea. Serve them stacked high with a drizzle of syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent experience.
