Ingredients:​

For the Batter:​

• 1 cup rice flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

For the Filling (Optional):​

• Sweet corn kernels
• Cooked mung beans
• Grated coconut

For Cooking:​

• Vegetable oil or coconut oil, for greasing the pan

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca flour, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined. The batter should have a slightly thick consistency, similar to pancake batter.
2. Heat the Pan:
   • Preheat a Kanom Krok pan or a similar cast-iron pan over medium heat. Grease the indentations with a little vegetable oil or coconut oil.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour a small amount of batter into each indentation, filling them about halfway full.
   • Add your choice of filling (if using), such as sweet corn kernels, cooked mung beans, or grated coconut, on top of the batter.
4. Cover and Cook:
   • Cover the pan and let the Kanom Krok cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges become crispy and golden brown, and the center is set.
5. Flip and Cook the Other Side (Optional):
   • If desired, flip the Kanom Krok using a skewer or small spatula to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the Kanom Krok from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
   • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.

Serving Suggestion:​

• Enjoy Kanom Krok warm as a delightful snack or dessert. The crispy edges and soft, creamy center, combined with your favorite fillings, create a heavenly treat that will transport you to the bustling markets of Thailand!

What if we tried adding pandan flavoring to the batter? Wonder how that would blend with the coconut...
