Coconut Pancake with Coconut and Palm Sugar sauce

One of Mum's recipe that I loved.  

No I think I love all of her recipes ;)

This is based on her recipe with me adding my own twist into it :)

Mum's recipe is:

- Plain flour,

- 1-2 eggs,

- milk or coconut milk,

- vanilla sugar,

- dessicated coconut.

- salted butter.

Mixed all ingredients together,

the mixture should be a bit thick.

Heat pan over medium heat,

add unsalted butter,

pour a ladle, 

and fry on both sides until thoroughly cooked.

Of course, my Mum's recipes - all come with no measurement.

So if you would like to try it, use your own judgement/expertise.

Here is my recipe for the pancake:

Ingredients:

- 2 tsp of Natural vanilla extract

- 1 cup of self-raising flour

- cold water, only a little bit

- 1 egg

- 1/4 tsp of salt

- 1-2 desiccated coconut, plus more for garnish.

I used the mixture of desiccated coconuts and moist coconut flakes.

- salted butter.

Always use good ingredients,

real Natural Extract instead of essence,

essence taste horrible to me.

Mix all ingredients together.

Don't forget the desiccated coconut, too!

Mix well.

Heat pan over medium heat and add salted butter.

I use a small/egg frying pan.

Pour a ladle.

Close with a lid for about a minute or so.

This is what it looks like once you opened the lid.

The mixture will be cooked underneath and plumped up on top.

Flip back, fry briefly then flip it out of a pan.

Recipe for the Sauce:

You will need:

- Gula Jawa / Indonesian Palm Sugar

it is darker and more intense flavor and nicely sweet.

I prefer Indonesian Gula Jawa than same product from other countries.

- 400 ml of light coconut milk.

- 1/2 tsp of salt

- 1 to 2 tbsp of raw sugar

put more sugar if you like it sweeter.

Method:

Mix all ingredients together in a sauce pan,

over low heat, slowly heat all ingredients,

keep stirring and be careful not to "split" the coconut milk.

Once Indonesian Gula Jawa all melted,

pour it over a freshly cooked pancake,

topped with desiccated coconut.

The garnish can be toasted too, if you like!

... thanks for looking :) ...
