Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons plain flour see the note
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten.
  • 2 ½ cups coconut milk.
  • Pinch of salt.
For the sugar syrup:
  • ½ cup dark muscovado sugar/ coconut palm sugar
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • pandan leaf see the note. Cut in an-inch long pieces.
  • Pinch of salt.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, put the flour, salt and beaten eggs together and stir well. You can use a hand whisk to thoroughly mix until there is no flour lump in the batter. Or you can use a blender or a handheld blender to mix.
  2. Add the coconut milk little by little as you keep whisking until you get a smooth batter. Set aside.
  3. Get your syrup ready by boiling the sugar, salt, coconut milk and pandan leaf together. Stir it every now and then. Once the syrup reaches the boiling point, let it simmer for at least 3 minutes before you turn the heat off. Set aside.
  4. Heat your non-stick frying pan, and put a ladle of Serabi batter on it. Cook the pancake about 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Serve your Indonesian pancakes with the syrup.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, you can use also rice flour instead of plain flour. 
  • If you use pandan leaf from Thailand, you’ll only need one piece for this recipe. Cut the leaf in half and use one half for the sugar and the other half for the coconut milk. 
  • If pandan leaf is not available, it can be substituted with vanilla extract. For this recipe, one teaspoon of vanilla extract is sufficient.
