Instructions

  1. Mix the rice flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Gradually add the coconut milk while whisking until you get a smooth, fluid batter with no lumps.
  3. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or a small serabi mould over medium heat and grease it very lightly.
  5. Pour a ladleful of batter and cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to pull away, about 3 minutes, without flipping.
  6. Prepare the topping by warming the coconut milk with the salt and pandan leaf for 2 minutes.
  7. Spoon a little warm topping onto each serabi and serve right away.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Drizzle a little palm sugar syrup over the topping to boost the caramel flavour.
