Ingredients
- Glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup
- Coconut milk
- 1 cup
- Pandan extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Shredded coconut
- 1 cup, for coating
- Vegetable oil
- for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, pandan extract, sugar, and salt. Mix well until a smooth batter is formed, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
- Pour a small amount of the batter onto the pan to form a thin pancake, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to crisp up and the surface appears set.
- Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden.
- Remove the pancake from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
- Cut the pancakes into small rectangular pieces, approximately 2 inches by 1 inch.
- Roll each piece in shredded coconut to coat all sides evenly, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres.
- Serve the Bich Quy immediately, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few drops of vanilla extract to the batter.
- You can also experiment with other fillings or toppings, such as crushed nuts or dried fruit, for added texture and taste.
