When I was a kid, my mom made rice pancakes and I remember loving them. So when I found this recipe, and I had some cooked rice that needed using, the choice was obvious. My son adamantly proclaimed that he hated rice and would not eat them, but I went ahead with them anyway. I'm pretty sure this isn't the recipe my mom made, as she'd never make something so fancy as pancakes that call for meringue folded in.

I did this one by the book.
Here's how Fannie does it.
Mix 1 c. milk
1 c. cooked rice
1/2 tsp. salt (of course I left this out)
Stir in 2 egg yolks, beaten until thick
1 tbsp. melted butter
7/8 c. flour
Fold in 2 egg whites, beaten stiff.
Cook in butter until edges are firm, then turn and cook until lightly browned.

Top with butter, syrup, apple sauce, or anything else...
We used apple sauce and syrup because that's what we had. And guess
what? My son ate his whole pancake with not a complaint to be heard, and
later admitted they were "pretty good."
I remember her making banana rice pancakes a lot. I make them sometimes, but never made rice pancakes without the bananas....
