3-Ingredient Ube Mochi Pancakes
Back in Hawai'i whenever a friend would come visit, there would most likely be a stop by Yogurstory to try their Ube Pancakes (Image below for referrence). They were arguably the first place to offer the vibrant purple yams in this fashion. This recipe is an ode to that experience from back home. Sadly, we don't have a great recipe to mimic the Ube halaya syrup they have, but we are working on it (I asked the owner a while back, but aunty keeps that secret locked tight).
Equipment Required...
- Stainless Steel Bowl
- Amazon Stainless Steel Whisk 14"
- Escali P115C Kitchen Scale
- Whether you are a novice or professional baker, precision is always necessary.
- Zojirushi Electric Flat Top Griddle
- If you don't have one, a non stick frypan will work just as well.
The Recipe...
Understanding how difficult it may be to get access to ingredients, we made this recipe as simple as possible with easily accessible ingredients. If you can't get to your local asian grocery store, these items are readily available on Amazon.

Pro Tips
- Use a non stick pan without any oil or grease for a smoother crust.
- Similar to Japanese Dorayaki, excess grease and lubrication will lead to a different surface.
