Instructions

  1. Boil the taro in water until very tender, then mash it finely.
  2. In a bowl, mix the taro purée, sugar, egg, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the flour and baking powder alternately with the coconut milk, mixing until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil over medium heat and pour in a large spoonful of batter to form a pancake about 10 cm wide.
  6. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden, then keep warm.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm, sprinkled with coconut if you like.

Variations and tips

Fudgier version. Add a mashed banana to the batter for extra softness.
