- Milk: This needs a lot of milk and whole milk was used here for the ultimate creaminess in the pancakes. You could absolutely substitute or use non dairy milk here.
- Eggs: As well as adding structure to the pancakes, the eggs bind everything together so are essential.
- Flour: Plain or all purpose flour helps give our pancakes structure and forms the batter to cook nice pancakes soaking up a little of that rice pudding and egg moisture.
- Vanilla extract & salt: The flavor bomb of our pancakes this gives depth of flavor and the salt also gives an edge to the sweetness once we spoon over our jam.
