Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well blended to create a uniform dry mix.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, rose water, egg, and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps, ensuring an even consistency for cooking.
Color the Batter (Optional): If desired, add a drop of pink food coloring to the batter. Stir carefully to distribute the color evenly, giving the batter a soft pastel pink hue that complements the rose flavor.
Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat. This step ensures that the pancakes cook evenly and do not stick to the pan surface.
Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of the batter onto the heated pan, forming individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip each pancake carefully and continue cooking until both sides turn a golden brown color. Repeat until all batter is used.
Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes neatly on a serving plate. Dust the top with powdered sugar and sprinkle dried rose petals over them for an elegant visual and aromatic finish.
Optional Serving Suggestions: Accompany the pancakes with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on the side to add flavor contrast and enhance presentation.

Notes

Rose water adds a delicate floral fragrance; adjust the quantity according to taste preference.
Use fresh or frozen strawberries based on availability for serving.
For a vegan-friendly version, substitute milk with plant-based milk and use a flax egg or another egg replacer.
Be careful not to overcook the pancakes to retain a soft, fluffy texture.
Pink food coloring is optional and adds a fun visual appeal, but the pancakes taste wonderful without it.
