Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 120 g shredded coconut dried (2 cups)
  • 150 g palm sugar chopped or grated, can use gula merah, gula melaka, coconut sugar or brown sugar (1 cup)
  • 125 ml water (1/2 cup)
  • 2 panda pandan leaves knotted, or 1-2 drops of pandan flavouring

Pancakes

  • 120 g plain flour / all purpose flour (1 cup)
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 125 ml water (1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp pandan flavouring
  • 1 pic egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Filling

  • In a saucepan of medium size, add the shredded coconut, palm sugar, half a cup of water, and pandan leaves tied in a knot. Proceed to cook the filling over low to medium heat, stirring continuously until the palm sugar fully dissolves and the coconut takes on a gorgeous golden brown hue. This process should last approximately 5-10 minutes. Once done, transfer the mixture into a separate bowl and let it cool down for a while. The ingredients used for this recipe include 120 grams of shredded coconut, 150 grams of palm sugar, 125 milliliters of water, and 2 knotted pandan leaves.

Pancakes

  • In order to prepare these delicious pandan pancakes, begin by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Into the bowl, add 120g of plain flour or all-purpose flour, 400ml of coconut milk, 1 teaspoon of pandan flavouring, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 125ml of water. Use a whisk to whip the ingredients together until the batter becomes thin, much like French crepes.
  • Next, take a medium-sized saucepan and add a dash of vegetable oil. Place the pan on medium-high heat, and use a paper towel to wipe the oil around the entire surface of the pan. Then, set the pan aside on a plate to re-oil for the next pancake.
  • Once the pan is ready, ladle in approximately 1/3 cup of pancake mix. Pick up the pan and swirl the mixture around in a circular motion to thin it out and coat the bottom of the pan. Allow the pancake to cook slowly on one side until it turns a slightly darker shade of green all over. To make sure the pancake isn't stuck, give it a shake or two in the pan before sliding it onto a plate.
  • Now, add a few spoonfuls of the coconut filling near the bottom of the pancake. To fold the pancake, begin with the edge closest to you, lifting it up and over the coconut filling. Next, fold in each side to ensure they're straight, before rolling the pancake up to the top of the plate. For a step-by-step guide on folding the pancake, watch our video.
  • These pandan pancakes can be served straight away with ice-cream, cream, and strawberries, or they can be enjoyed on their own. Although they can be stored in the fridge for a day or two, they are best eaten fresh.
