Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In another container, whisk the eggs with the coconut milk and the melted coconut oil.
- Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, fairly thick batter.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flour can hydrate.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in a small ladleful of batter to form pancakes about 10 cm wide.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden, then serve warm.
Variations and tips
Savory version. Leave out the sugar and vanilla, and serve the pancakes with dried fish or bonito.
