Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cardamom powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp rose water, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix until just combined; lumps are okay.
Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Step 5: Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Step 6: For honey butter, mix 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 2 tbsp honey until creamy. Serve pancakes warm with a dollop of honey butter on top.
