“Like most busy families, leisurely mornings are rare. So when we have time to cook something special for breakfast, we cherish it. I usually make mochiko waffles but after we tried butter mochi pancakes at Koa Pancake House, we looked for a mochiko pancake recipe online. This isn’t quite the same as the ones we tasted at brunch, but the stacks are light, fluffy and still retain a touch of that extra chewiness we love in local treats.”—Christi Young
