Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned)
- ½ teaspoon pandan extract or paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup water
- 1.5 cups shredded coconut (fresh or frozen, unsweetened)
- ¾ cup palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or neutral oil
Instructions
- 1
Combine shredded coconut, palm sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix until sugar dissolves slightly and mixture is moist. Set aside.
- 2
Whisk flour, coconut milk, pandan extract, and salt in a bowl until smooth—no lumps.
- 3
Slowly whisk in water until batter is thin and pourable, like crepes consistency.
- 4
Let batter rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
- 5
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly oil the surface, ~30 seconds.
- 6
Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center. Tilt skillet to spread into a thin, even round. You'll hear immediate sizzle.
- 7
Cook 60 seconds until bottom is light golden. Flip and cook the other side 30 seconds, until set but still tender.
- 8
Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling the pan lightly between each. You should have 8 pancakes.
- 9
Place one pancake on a board. Spoon 3 tablespoons filling along the center, leaving 1-inch borders.
- 10
Fold the bottom edge over the filling. Roll tightly away from you, tucking in the sides as you go.
- 11
Repeat with remaining pancakes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
