As the days get chillier, I thought it would be nice to share this recipe for Coconut Pancakes with Coconut Maple Syrup. The waft of coconut on a cold morning is a nice way to remind us of warmer times and places.

A melt in your mouth buttery and tender, mildly coconut flavored pancake with the sweet-salty note of the coconut maple syrup... A lovely fusion of good ol' fluffy American pancakes, and a sticky Thai coconut dessert.

Ingredients

2 to 3 servings
  1. For the batter:
  2. 1large egg
  3. 1/4 cupwhipping cream
  4. 1/2 cupcoconut milk (shake the can well before opening to incorporate the fat and cream solids with the liquid)
  5. 1/2 teaspooncoconut extract
  6. 1 teaspoondistilled white vinegar (to tenderize the flour)
  7. 1 Tablespoonsugar
  8. 2/3 cupAll Purpose flour
  9. 1/3 teaspoonkosher salt
  10. 1 teaspoonbaking powder
  11. 1/2 teaspoonbaking soda
  12. 2 Tablespoonsbutter, melted
  13. For the syrup:
  14. 3 Tablespoonscoconut milk
  15. 2 Tablespoonsmaple syrup
  16. 1 teaspoonbrown sugar
  17. 1 Tablespoonbutter
  18. 1/2 teaspooncoconut extract
  19. 1good pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine egg, whipping cream, coconut milk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and sugar for batter and whisk thoroughly until it has a soft pastel yellow color to it.

  2. 2

    Then add flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and 2 Tablespoons melted butter and whisk or stir again just to combine thoroughly, and until you have a fairly smooth batter.

  3. 3

    While the batter is resting, make your syrup. Combine all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until all the butter and sugar are melted. (Or you can microwave it, first for about 20 seconds, then stir, and then another 10 seconds.) Keep your syrup warm on the lowest possible stove setting, or just zap it for about 15 seconds right before you drizzle it over your pancakes.

  4. 4

    Griddle your pancakes on a lightly buttered griddle/non-stick pan/cast iron pan/whatever you griddle your pancakes on, preheated to medium, using about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, flipping when you begin to see little bubbles appear all over the pancake. That usually takes about 3 minutes on the first side, and only about 30 to 45 seconds on the second side to finish.

  5. 5

    Since this is a small batch of pancakes, you probably won't have to adjust your heat, but if you're making a large batch, you do want to manage the heat, adjusting it down just a bit if you find that your pancakes are starting to brown too much before it's time to flip.

  6. 6

    Drizzle some of that sweet-salty-nutty-buttery Coconut Maple Syrup over your Coconut Pancakes, close your eyes for a moment so you can inhale that warm sunny feeling of coconuts on a cold winter's morning, then open 'em back up again and ENJOY. :)
