Rice Griddle Cakes are a classic breakfast dish in many Asian countries such as China, Japan, and India. They are also known as Idli, Appam, and Dosai. These cakes are traditionally made with fermented rice and lentils, but this recipe simplifies the process by using regular rice, flour, and baking powder. The griddle cakes are soft and fluffy with a slightly sweet taste due to the sugar. They can be enjoyed plain or with various toppings and are perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast with family.
