Activate yeast

Dissolve the instant yeast in warm coconut milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Making the Pandan Coconut Sauce

Simmer base ingredients

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, water, pandan leaves, sugar, and salt.

For authentic flavor, use fresh pandan leaves and lightly crush them before knotting.

Thicken sauce

Remove pandan leaves, then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, creating small pancakes. Cover and cook until bubbles form and the top is set.

Ensure that the pan is well-heated before pouring the batter.

Thickening Sauce

Once the cornstarch is added, stir continuously to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth sauce.
