Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pancake Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the ulu puree, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Latik (Coconut Brown Sugar Syrup) Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Latik

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy, about 15-20 minutes.

Vanilla Cream Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Vanilla Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Serving

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with sliced bananas, drizzle with latik syrup, and add a dollop of vanilla cream.
