Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil or butter (for greasing)
• 1 cup fresh tropical fruit (e.g., mango, pineapple, or passion fruit)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mix the coconut milk, melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Fold the shredded unsweetened coconut into the batter for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with neutral cooking oil or butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spreading lightly with the back of a spoon if needed.

Step 7

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

While the pancakes cook, prepare the fresh tropical fruit by dicing mango, pineapple, or passion fruit into bite-sized pieces.

Step 9

Serve the Panu Caku pancakes warm, topped with fresh tropical fruit. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired for extra sweetness.
