Before you make Rice Pancakes
- Soak the soft rice with warm water over night or for at least 8 hours.

- Cut the onions into tiny pieces.
Directions
- Add all the ingredients: the soaked rice, cooked rice, diced onions, salt, sugar, yeast, egg and Peak Milk into a blender.
- Add just enough water to help the blades of your blender move.
- Blend till smooth.
- Pour into a bowl.
- Cover the bowl, leave it in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Set a frying pan on the stove, preferably a non-stick frying pan.
- Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the pan.
- Once hot, pour some batter into the pan making sure it is as thin as possible.
- Fry on medium heat till the top cakes and the underside is golden.
