Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chilling a can of coconut milk overnight in the refrigerator. Scoop out the thick cream layer at the top and let it soften.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut cream, ½ cup of milk, 1 beaten egg, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold them together until just combined. Let the batter rest for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly grease it, and pour ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Serve immediately with fresh fruit or maple syrup.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for the best fluffiness in your pancakes. Resting the batter for a few minutes is crucial to achieving the desired texture.
