Pancake Batter

For Cooking

Method

Prepare the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, turmeric powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Gradually add the coconut milk and water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside to rest for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 3

    Cook the Prawns

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the prawns until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked prawns, bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and fresh herbs. Mix well and set aside.

Cook the Pancakes

  1. 5

    Heat the Pan

    In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Batter

    Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to brown.

  3. 7

    Add the Filling

    Sprinkle a portion of the filling mixture over half of the pancake. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pancake is golden and crispy.

  4. 8

    Fold and Serve

    Carefully fold the pancake over the filling and slide it onto a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling, adding more oil as necessary.
