2 cups banh khot flour or rice flour

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar    

1 cup cooked white rice

½ cup cooked split mungbeans

1 ¾ cups coconut cream

1 cup chopped green onions

2. In a blender, add the rice, mung beans and coconut cream blending until smooth. Then pour it into the flour mixture and stir to combine.

3. Pour in the soda and stir it into the mixture until smooth and there are no more lumps. Then add in green onions and incorporate into mixture.

4. Allow mixture to rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking.

Cook the pancakes

1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Vegetable oil

1. Add salt, pepper and minced garlic to the shrimp, mix it up and cover with saran wrap. Allow shrimp to marinate for about 30 minutes or more in the refrigerator.

2. Heat an “Aebleskiver Pan” on high and add about 1 teaspoon of oil to each well. Brush oil all over the inside of the wells to coat.

3. Fill the batter into each well ¾ of the way up. Allow batter to cook for 2 minutes on medium high heat covered and then quickly place 1 shrimp on top of each pancake.

4. Once shrimped placed on pancake, cook for about 2-3 minutes covered. When the edges separate from the wells, flip the pancakes over to cook on the other side for about 1 minute brushing some oil on the edges of each pancake.

5. Remove the mini pancakes from the wells with a flat utensil or a spoon, starting from the edges and scooping inward and transfer to a rack. (If the batter breaks apart or stick to the pan, it might not be done yet. Continue to let the batter cook until crispy on the outside before trying to remove again.)

6. Repeat the cooking process until shrimp and batter are used up.
