Green Pancakes with Coconut
One of my favourite desserts, green coconut pancakes are as delicate as crepes and can be used with sweet and savoury fillings.
BATTER :
1 cup flour 1 egg, lightly beaten
¼ tspn. Salt 1 ½ tbspn. sugar
½ tspn. Vanilla 1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water 1 tbspn. lemon juice (optl)
FILLET :
1 cup grated coconut 4 tbsp. palm sugar
1 pandan leaf or essence pinch of salt
vanilla essence
Blend all the pancake ingredients together. Is should be smooth and limp free. Set aside for a few minutes and make the filling. Mix all the fillet ingredients together thoroughly and cook over a low flame in a saucepan for 3 minutes, until the coconut is soft. Heat a fry pan or saucepan over a low flame. Add a smear of oil and then 1-2 tbspn. Of the pancake mixture, tilting the pant so that the mixture reaches the edges. The pancake should be very thin. When bubbles appear flip the pancake over and cook for a few seconds on the other side. Add a smear of butter to the pan when necessary (I like to use a pastry bush) and continue until the mixture is finished. Fill each pancake with 2-3 tbsps. Of coconut and fold like an envelope. Makes 8.
Note : to make the pancakes green add pandan essence to the batter.
