Pandan Pancake Rolls With Coconut Filling (kuih Dadar)

Ingredients

  • 4 pandan leaves, finely chopped
  • 250ml coconut milk
  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100g palm sugar, grated
  • 50g desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon pandan essence
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Water

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the pandan leaves and coconut milk. Blend until smooth.
  2. In a bowl, mix the pandan-coconut mixture with the all-purpose flour, egg, and salt to make the pancake batter.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 pancakes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the grated palm sugar, desiccated coconut, pandan essence, and cornstarch. Mix well to form the filling.
  5. Place a pancake on a clean surface and spoon a portion of the coconut filling along one edge. Roll the pancake tightly to encase the filling. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.
  6. Serve the pandan pancake rolls at room temperature and enjoy!
