Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup water (lukewarm)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3½ cups rice flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 (13.5 oz.) cans coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Combine the yeast and water in a glass and set aside for about 10 minutes until it gets foamy.
- Combine salt, rice flour, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast mixture and stir until obtaining a homogeneous batter.
- Cover, and set aside for at least 2 hours, in a warm place.
- Add the coconut milk and baking soda and mix until smooth.
- Cover and set aside for another hour.
- Batter should have the consistency of a thin crepe batter. If it is too thick, adjust by adding water or coconut milk.
- If using a non-stick hopper pan, slightly wipe the pan with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil. If using a more traditional iron hopper pan, grease with a little more oil.
- Heat the hopper pan over a high heat, then lower to medium.
- Add a ladle of hopper batter and immediately swirl the batter around the pan to cover the entire surface.
- Add an egg in the center of the hopper to make an egg hopper (optional).
- Cover and cook until the batter sets, the edges are crispy (and the egg white has set), about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Gently slide the hopper out of the pan to a plate.
