Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Serve pancakes with remaining rhubarb sauce.

Step 2

Place rhubarb in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in ⅓ cup sugar; set aside to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract together in a cup; stir into flour mixture until forms a smooth batter. Stir 1 cup cooled rhubarb mixture into batter.

Step 4

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by ⅓ cupfuls onto griddle; cook until bubbles form and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip pancakes; cook until browned on other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
