Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the rice flour, coconut, sugar and salt.
  2. Gradually add the lukewarm water while whisking to get a smooth, fairly runny batter with no lumps.
  3. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and very lightly oil it.
  5. Pour a large ladleful of batter into the centre and spread it into a disc about 15 cm wide.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden, then flip and cook for another minute.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm.
