SERABI ( pancakes with coconut sauce )

To celebrate the Thai New Year ( ahem..! always have excuses to entartain
). Last Tues, I had some friends for coffee morning at home. To see this serabi, my Indonesian friends looked so thrilled since they missed it and I was so..so..happy to see my other (not Indonesian) friends enjoyed this food and asked for the recipe. So here it is :

2 1/2 cups flour, sifted

2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 t yeast

1/4 t salt

300 ml warm coconut milk

2 drops pandan paste for traditional taste and flavour or banana/coconut or substitute with 1/2 t vanilla essence

coconut sauce

1 l coconut milk

200 gr shaved palm sugar

2 T brown sugar

1/4 t salt

1 pandanus leaf, raked and tied into a knot

Put the flour into a bowl and add eggs, yeast and salt. Gradually stir in coconut milk and paste to make a thick batter. Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place until the mixture turns spongy about 1 hour.

1. To prepare the coconut sauce, put the thin coconut milk, both lots of sugar, salt and pandanus leaf in a opan. Bring to the boil over low heat, strring until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2 min the set aside.
2. Grease the bottom of a small wok with oil and heat. Spread a ladleful of batter in the wok. Cook until the cake is set on top, 2-3 min. Turn over and cook the other side. When all the batter is used, remove the pandanus leaf from coconut sauce and pour some over each pancake. Serve immediately.

Bahan2 :

1. 250 ml susu cair



2. 1 telur



3. 1 tbs baking powder



4. sedikit vanilli



5. 1 cup tepung terigu



6. 2 tbs butter yg dilelehkan

membuatnya :

• kocok telor dan susu



• masukkan sisa bahan lainnya, kocok rata sebentar. Gak usah lama2, lumpy dikit gak papa, justru bikin fluffy



• panaskan pan anti lengket, tuang 1 - 2 centong adonan. Apinya kecil sampe sedeng, gak boleh pakai api besar



• adonan mulai ada gelembung2, tunggu dikit lagi, trus balik. Kedua sisi matang



• Selesai, he..he.. gimana Ita..?, berhasil gak..??

Dihidangkan panas2 biasa saja dengan maple syrup dan butter, atau mau ditambah2 pakai blueberry, banana, dll... terserah. Atau kalau aku seringnya diisi kaya martabak manis, anak2ku paling seneng. Tapi bangunnya harus lebih subuh lagi...!, karena bikinnya consuming time banget.
