Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Pandan leaves — If fresh pandan leaves are not available, you can use pandan extract or pandan paste as a substitute. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a more pronounced pandan flavor, you can add a few drops of pandan extract to the batter.
  • Serve the pancakes with a drizzle of coconut syrup or a sprinkle of desiccated coconut for added sweetness and texture.
  • If you don't have a Khanom Khrok pan, you can use a mini muffin pan as a substitute. Just make sure to grease the indentations well.

Serving advice

Serve the Coconut Rice Pancakes warm as a delightful snack or dessert. They are best enjoyed fresh off the pan, but can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Coconut Rice Pancakes on a serving platter, stacking them in a pyramid shape. Garnish with fresh pandan leaves or a sprinkle of desiccated coconut for an attractive presentation.
