Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the desiccated coconut.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg with the palm sugar until dissolved, then add the milk.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, supple dough.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid.
- Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and pour in small ladles of batter.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the cakes are golden, then serve warm.
Variations and tips
Egg-free. Replace the egg with 1 tablespoon of apple sauce for a vegan version.
