i know what im making tomorrow morning...

i have a cheaper rice cooker that isnt "non-stick" like the one pictured. May have to mix separately and then spray the pan.

Anyone made these like this before? Any tips, hints to look out for?

I haven't made this before but I do make quite a few pancakes. Don't over mix your batter. Also if you are making homemade pancake batter I usually make mine the night before.

Do you add extra baking powder or anything? I believe BP will slowly lose potency just not sure how fast

It shouldn't require much. Most commercial baking powder is double-acting, which has a component that doesn't react until it gets hot. A bit of research[1] suggests that for most brands it's the high-temperature component doing most of the (ahem) heavy lifting.

If so, add 10% extra, which is just a pinch for most recipes. Or accept a very slightly lower pancake. (Personally, I like to substitute yeast for overnight recipes.)
