Good morning to all my dear Hive friends!
There’s something truly comforting about enjoying a warm, soft pancake during tea time. But when it’s crafted with a uniquely Sri Lankan touch—using pandan leaf juice, caramelized coconut, and a simple wheat flour base—it becomes something far more than just a quick snack.
The gentle aroma and natural green hue from the pandan juice added to the pancake batter give it a fresh and inviting appeal. The rich, sweet filling made from caramelized sugar and grated coconut adds a perfectly balanced texture and flavor.
This traditional yet easy recipe is a wonderful way to surprise your loved ones with something both delicious and memorable at your tea table.
Ingredients...
🌺 Wheat flour 200g.
🌺 Two or three pandan leaves.
🌺 A pinch of salt.
🌺 2/3 Cup of sugar.
🌺 2 Cup of coconut milk.
🌺 Some hot water.
🌺 Egg yolk.
The cooking process as follows.
First, add a few pandan leaves into a blender, pour in a little water, and blend until it becomes a juice.
Next, add some wheat flour into a bowl, along with a pinch of salt, a little egg yolk, and some pandan juice. Gradually add water while mixing to make a slightly thick batter.
Next, to prepare the sweet filling, place a pan on the stove and add some sugar. Once it begins to caramelize, add a little hot water and then the remaining sugar, allowing it to caramelize fully.
Next, add the grated coconut and mix thoroughly. Let it cook for about 3 minutes while stirring, then take it off the stove.
Now, take another pan and place it over medium heat. Once the pan is well heated, pour a ladleful of the prepared pandan batter onto it and gently spread it into a neat round pancake shape.
Now take a portion of the prepared sweet coconut mixture and place it as a light filling on the pancake as shown below.
Finally, once cooked to a beautiful green hue and filled with the aromatic sweet coconut mixture, these pandan pancakes are ready to be rolled and served warm. Perfect for a delightful tea time, this tasty treat pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea and good conversation. Give it a try and experience the blend of flavor, aroma, and simplicity in every bite.
