Dates Pancake

Dates, the fruit of the date palm, have long been enjoyed as both a staple food and a preserved food throughout the Middle East.
Rich in minerals such as iron and calcium, dates are a popular fruit for supporting health and beauty.
This time, we made pancakes using dates! 🥞

Ingredients

Eggs：600g
Cake flour Violet (NISSHIN SEIFUN)：510g
Dates powder：90g
Granulated sugar：180g
Dates syrup：120g
Baking powder：12g
Cake Doll Liquid shortening (MIYOSHI OIL & FAT CO., LTD.)：60g
Water：300g

How to make the batter

Sift together the cake flour, date powder, and baking powder.

Mix until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the date syrup and Liquid shortening, then mix well.

The mixture is ready when fully blended.

Add the whole eggs to the mixer bowl and beat until loosened, then add the granulated sugar and mix well. Next, add the Dates syrup and Liquid shortening, and continue mixing.

In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Add the granulated sugar and mix thoroughly.

Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

Add the date syrup and Liquid shortening mixture and mix thoroughly.

Using Liquid shortening helps create a light and fluffy texture.

Add the dry ingredients to the eggs and mix until smooth.

Start mixing gently so that the dry ingredients do not become airborne.

Finally, add the water and mix at low speed for about 1 minute.

The target final specific gravity is 0.85 – 0.90. This batch measured 0.87.

How to cook the batter

Set the Tabletop Pancake Cooker to 195℃.
Apply oil (Bitakatto SL) on the copper cooking surface.
Dispense the batter and cook for about 50 seconds.
Flip and cook for another 30 seconds (a total cooking time of 1 minute 20 seconds).

Grease the cooking surface, dispense the batter, and cook for about 50 seconds.

We also tried making mini-sized pancakes!

Examples of fillings

Top with whipped cream and sliced almonds, and enjoy with tea.

Because dates are naturally very sweet, the pancakes turn out delicious even with less added sugar. 🍳
We recommend serving them with whipped cream and sliced almonds!
These date pancakes are both delicious and packed with nutrients that support health and beauty. Give them a try! ✨
