Full Cooking Tutorial |Thai Coconut Pancakes | Khanom Krok

Khanom Krok | Thai Coconut Pudding or Thai Coconut Pancake

Ingredients for Khanom Krok Batter:

- 400 grams rice flour (14.1 oz)

- 3 cups coconut milk

- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons salt

- 4-5 tablespoons vegetable oil (for greasing the Khanom Krok pan)

Ingredients for Khanom Krok Topping:

- 2 cups coconut cream

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice flour

Step 1: Prepare the Khanom Krok Batter

1. Mix rice flour, sugar, and salt together.

2. Gradually pour in coconut cream while continuously stirring to incorporate the ingredients.

3. Stir the mixture continuously until well combined. Let it rest.

Step 2: Prepare the Coconut Topping

1. In another mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, and rice flour.

2. Gradually pour in coconut cream while stirring continuously until well combined. Let it rest.

Step 3: Making Khanom Krok and Serving

1. Use a cloth or coconut husk dipped in vegetable oil to grease the Khanom Krok pan thoroughly. Heat the pan over medium heat.

2. Gradually pour the Khanom Krok batter into the molds, filling them to 3/4 full, leaving a little space at the edges for the coconut topping.

3. When the edges of the batter start to set slightly, pour the coconut topping into each mold, making sure not to overflow. Cover the pan and let it cook for a moment.

4. Wait until the edges of the Khanom Krok start to become crispy and brown. Then, use a spoon to remove them from the molds and serve.

Family Tips and Memories:

- Mom's Tip: Pour less topping to avoid overflowing the molds. Watch for small bubbles, which indicate the Khanom Krok is cooked perfectly. When my mom checked the cooking initially, she suggested pouring less topping and watching for bubbles to ensure perfect cooking.

- Grandma's Legacy: My grandma used to make and sell Khanom Krok at the weekend morning market when my dad was a child. This treat holds nostalgic memories of his childhood. When my dad inspected, I jokingly offered him a piece for 20 baht. He replied he'd need more pieces for that price. We shared a laugh over the effort put into this special batch.

Enjoy your homemade Khanom Krok! 🥥
