Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast rounded
- 7 to 10 oz coconut milk
- butter
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat water in the microwave for about 10 seconds, until it’s warm, but not hot. Add a pinch of sugar and the dry yeast into the water, and leave the yeast to rise for about 10 minutes.
- Once the yeast has risen, add it to a bowl with the flour, egg, and salt. Mix until the liquid is absorbed. The texture will be shaggy. Add the coconut milk until the batter is pourable but still thick.
- Place the batter in a glass bowl and cover with a dish towel. Leave it to rise for 45 minutes to an hour in a dark, warm place.
- Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter per pancake in the skillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Once the bottom is browned, use a spatula to flip and cook the other side.
- Remove once both sides are cooked. Spread with butter and enjoy!
