Pancakes with coconut milk - preparation
To make these delicious and tempting pancakes, start by mixing the dry ingredients in a clean and dry bowl. The dry ingredients for this pancake recipe include two hundred grams of flour of your choice, two teaspoons of baking soda and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, mix all the liquid ingredients which are two hundred milliliters of coconut milk, one beaten egg, one teaspoon of coconut oil and two teaspoons of maple syrup or agave syrup or honey.
Once you have a homogeneous mixture, simply pour the wet ingredients at the dry mixture and mix well. Again, you should stir until you have a homogeneous and smooth pancake mixture.
Then proceed to frying the pancakes. It is recommended to fry them in well heated coconut oil to make them as healthy as possible. Since the pancake mix is quite fluffy and light, it is recommended that you make them in a small American style size instead of the traditional large and thin pancake that we are well known for in Bulgaria.
Each side of the pancake usually takes up to three minutes to be ready. You can then top the pancakes to your taste with sweet and savoury items and toppings.
Pancakes with coconut milk - tips
You can use more liquid coconut milk from a carton for this recipe, but the pancakes won't be as fluffy and may fall apart. That's why using a thicker and creamier coconut milk from a can is recommended.
Make sure the pan is not too hot or the underside of the pancake will burn before the inside is cooked. Start on medium heat, but if the underside of the pancake browns too much, turn the heat down a bit.
