Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the desiccated coconut.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the palm sugar until dissolved, then add the milk.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, supple dough.
  4. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid.
  5. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and pour in small ladles of batter.
  6. 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.
