Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, well stirred
- 1/2 cup regular milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, optional
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream from a chilled can of coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- Maple syrup or coconut syrup
- Extra coconut cream, optional
Instructions
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined and free of clumps.
- Whisk coconut milk, regular milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coconut extract in a separate bowl until smooth and fully blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until no dry flour remains. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the coconut turns light golden.
- Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden.
- For the coconut cream topping, whip cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble pancakes by placing a stack on each plate, spooning coconut cream topping over, sprinkling with toasted coconut, and drizzling with syrup.
Notes
- Let the batter rest to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Toasting the coconut enhances its flavor.
