Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center.

  2. 2

    Add the 1 cup coconut milk and 1 egg to the well. Whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. The batter should be thin like heavy cream.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice the 2 green onions and stir them into the batter along with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

  4. 4

    Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter and tilt to spread into a thin circle.

  5. 5

    Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
