Ingredients

  • 150 g rice flour
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • ¼ tsp active yeast
  • 30 g sugar
  • A pinch salt
  • Freshly sliced fruit, to serve
For the sauce
  • 100 g palm sugar
  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • A pinch salt
  • 1 pandan leaf (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, flour, coconut milk, yeast, sugar,and salt. Whisk well to combine, then allow the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
  2. Once the yeast activates, heat a large non-stick frying pan. Spoon a ladleful of the batter into the pan, then cover with a lid and cook until the surface sets. Flip the pancake, cover again and cook until golden-brown and cooked through. Remove the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. To make the sauce, combine the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Remove from the heat.
  4. Serve the pancakes with fresh fruit and drizzle generously with the coconut palm sugar sauce.
