Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 150 grams Grated coconut (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 100 grams White granulated sugar
- 50 grams Shredded coconut (for rolling)
- 150 ml Coconut milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, grated coconut, white sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Slowly pour the coconut milk into the dry mixture while stirring. Continue mixing until a thick, sticky dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a little more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into small, bite-sized portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
Flatten each ball slightly into a small, round pancake shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with vegetable oil.
Cook the pancakes in batches. Place the shaped dough onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
While still warm, roll each pancake in the shredded coconut to coat it lightly. The residual heat will help the coconut stick.
Serve the pancakes warm on a platter or with a side of extra coconut milk for dipping, if desired. Enjoy this delightful Thai dessert with tea or coffee!
