PANDAN PANCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the coconut custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.
• Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Once the coconut milk is simmering, very slowly pour into the bowl with the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine and temper the eggs.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a clean medium bowl and whisk in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
• Set the bowl over another bowl filled with ice water (make sure the water level is not so high that it gets into the custard) and let the custard cool for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the custard has cooled, scoop onto the prepared baking sheet in 1-tablespoon discs, spacing evenly. You should have at least 20 custard discs. Transfer to the freezer for 90 minutes, until frozen.
• Make the pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and pandan extract. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or a pancake griddle over medium-low heat and grease with nonstick spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and cook the pancake halfway, about 2-3 minutes. Place a disc of frozen coconut custard in the center, cover the custard with about 1 tablespoon more batter and flip. Cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and coconut custard to make 20 pancakes total.
• Serve with butter, maple syrup, and toasted coconut flakes.
• Enjoy!
