Bánh Kẹp Lá Dứa

Bánh Kẹp Lá Dứa is a delightful Vietnamese dessert made from fragrant pandan leaves, offering a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors. These soft, green pancakes are filled with a sweet coconut mixture, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Pandan leaves - 3-4 leaves
• Rice flour - 100 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Grated coconut (fresh or desiccated) - 50 grams
• Vegetable oil (for cooking) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Blend the pandan leaves with 100 ml of water until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh to extract the green juice.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add in the coconut milk and pandan juice, stirring until well combined and smooth.
3. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
4. In a small saucepan, combine grated coconut with 50 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until warm and set aside.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
6. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the surface is set.
7. Spoon some of the coconut mixture onto one half of the pancake, then fold it over. Cook for another minute until heated through.
8. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
9. Serve warm as a delightful dessert.
