Tanzanian Vitumbua (Coconut Rice Pancakes)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice Flour
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Cardamom
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, add the 1 cup of Rice Flour, 1 cup of Coconut Milk, 1/4 cup of Sugar, and 1/4 tsp of Cardamom. Whisk everything together until the batter is completely smooth, with no lumps.
2. 2Place a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of Vegetable Oil to the pan and let it heat up for 1 minute.
3. 3Once the pan is hot, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
4. 4Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side, until both sides are golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
5. 5Remove the cooked pancakes from the griddle and serve them warm.
