Description

Delicate rice flour pancakes filled with seasonal strawberry and rhubarb filling. The batter is lighter than traditional pancake batter, making it a perfect match for fresh, slightly tart fruits. The dish combines Polish spring flavors — sweet strawberries and tangy rhubarb — with the velvety texture of pancakes. Serve warm with a dollop of cottage cheese or a spoonful of thick cream, sprinkled with powdered sugar or crunchy nuts. It’s a light dessert, visually striking (the intense red of the fruits against the pale pancakes) and great for a family afternoon in the spring-summer season.

Preparation steps

Filling

1

Prepare the fruits: wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut the larger ones in half; peel the rhubarb thinly (if the stalks have tough fibers) and cut into pieces about 2 cm. It is important that the pieces are similar in size so they cook evenly.

Ingredients: Strawberry, Rhubarb
Use a cutting board and a sharp knife. If the rhubarb is very thin, peeling is not necessary — just wash it. Tools: chef's knife, board.
2

Pour the strawberries and rhubarb into a medium saucepan with a thick bottom. Add 60 g of sugar (from the total amount of sugar used in the recipe — you'll save the rest for the dough), pour in the lemon juice, and set over medium heat. Heat, stirring with a wooden spoon every 1-2 minutes, until the fruit releases its juice and the rhubarb softens — about 6-8 minutes.

Ingredients: Strawberry, Rhubarb, Sugar, Lemon juice
Use a pot 18-20 cm in diameter with a thick bottom to prevent the fruit from burning. Stir from the bottom to prevent the rhubarb from sticking. It's ready when the rhubarb is soft under the pressure of a spoon and the strawberries are partially melting.
3

Dissolve the cold cornstarch in 30 ml of cold water (or a few tablespoons of cold lemon juice) to create a smooth slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the hot fruit while stirring vigorously, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Taste and sweeten if necessary, especially if the fruit is very sour.

Ingredients: Cornstarch, Strawberry, Rhubarb
Use a small bowl and a whisk or fork to mix the starch to avoid lumps. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
4

Transfer the finished filling to a wide dish and set aside to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes). The mixture should be warm, thick, and shiny — it will thicken a bit more as it cools.

Ingredients: Strawberry, Rhubarb
Use a wide bowl to let the filling cool faster. Do not seal it tightly so that the steam can escape.

Cake

5

Prepare the dough: sift the rice flour into a large bowl, add the remaining sugar (30 g already used for the filling, so add the remaining 30 g here), vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon.

Ingredients: Rice flour, Sugar, Vanilla sugar, Salt
Use a large bowl (at least 2 l) to easily mix wet ingredients without splattering. Sifting the flour helps avoid lumps.
6

In a separate jug, whisk the eggs with the milk using a fork or a whisk. Pour about 1/3 of the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix vigorously with a fork or whisk to create a thick, uniform paste. Gradually pour in the remaining milk, stirring to avoid lumps — the final consistency should be thin and runny (like 12% cream). Finally, add 15 g of melted, slightly cooled butter and mix.

Ingredients: Milk, Butter, Rice flour
Use a hand whisk or mixer on the lowest speed. If you don't have a mixer, mix vigorously with a fork for 1-2 minutes until smooth. The batter should flow from the spoon in a smooth stream.
7

Set the dough aside for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the rice flour to swell, making the dough more elastic and easier to fry.

Ingredients: Rice flour, Milk
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plate. Do not put it in the fridge — cold dough may be too thick to pour.

Frying

8

Heat a 24-26 cm skillet over medium heat. Before the first pancake, pour a small amount of butter (about 5 g) into the skillet and spread it with a brush or paper towel, leaving a thin layer of fat. If you are using a non-stick skillet, you may need less fat.

Ingredients: Butter
The best is a pan with even heating and a thick bottom. Check the temperature by pouring a drop of batter — if it spreads immediately and starts to set slightly at the edges, the temperature is right.
9

Pour portions of batter with a ladle (about 80-100 ml for one pancake) into the center of the pan and immediately swirl it around so the batter spreads thinly and evenly. Cook the first side for 1.5-2 minutes until the edges start to lift slightly and the top is no longer raw. Flip with a spatula and cook the second side for 30-50 seconds until it is lightly browned.

Ingredients: Rice flour, Butter
Use a flat spatula to flip. If the pancake sticks, the pan is not greased enough or is too cold. Before the next pancake, lightly grease the pan with a brush or a piece of paper soaked in butter.

Assembly

10

On each warm pancake, place 2-3 tablespoons of warm (not hot) strawberry-rhubarb filling in the center, spreading it lightly while leaving 1-2 cm of free edges. If you are using cottage cheese, spread a thin layer of cottage cheese on the pancake, and then add the fruit. Fold the pancake into a triangle or roll it up.

Ingredients: Strawberry, Rhubarb, Cottage cheese
Use a tablespoon to portion the filling. Do not add too much filling, as the pancake may tear. Additionally, you can add cottage cheese to enhance the flavor/texture.

Serving

11

Arrange the pancakes on a plate. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving and add a few fresh strawberries for decoration. Serve immediately while they are still slightly warm — the taste and texture are best right after preparation.

Ingredients: Powdered sugar, Strawberry, Rhubarb
For serving, use flat dessert plates. If you want to serve previously prepared pancakes, warm them slightly in a small pan before serving.

Fun Fact

💡

Rice flour has long been used in Asian kitchens for light pancakes and baked goods; in Poland, it is gaining popularity as a gluten-free alternative and gives dishes a more delicate, slightly crumbly texture.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of thick natural yogurt or mashed cottage cheese for a contrast of creaminess and tartness. Pair it with a cup of green tea or a light rhubarb mousse. If serving at a party, provide the filling in a separate bowl so guests can help themselves.

🥡 Storage

Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container; store the filling separately. To reheat, warm the pancakes in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or in the oven at 160°C for 5-7 minutes. Do not freeze with the filling — fruits lose their texture.
