Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, egg, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter can be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circular shape if needed.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut.
