- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions: Prepare the batter the night before and serve for breakfast with Greek yogurt, berries, maple syrup or raspberry jam.
Cook rice ahead of time in water. Then combine rice, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, and butter and mix well. Let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning heat up and an oiled skillet on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the rice batter, then flatten the batter into an oval shape. Flip when the edges turn brown. Repeat with rest of batter.
