Kanom Krok are Thai coconut-rice pancakes, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, often topped with sweet corn or scallions. This recipe makes the classic version with a savory-sweet balance.

Ingredients
1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups coconut milk (full-fat)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (green parts only)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
Vegetable oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add coconut milk and water, whisking until smooth. The batter should be thin, like crepe batter. Set aside.
Heat a kanom krok pan or a mini muffin pan over medium heat. Brush the indentations lightly with oil.
Pour batter into each indentation, filling about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle a few scallions and corn kernels on top of each pancake.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and crispy and the tops are set but still creamy.
Use a small spatula or skewer to gently lift the pancakes out. They should be crispy on the bottom and soft on top.
Serve warm as a snack or dessert.
Tips
If you don't have a kanom krok pan, a mini muffin pan works well; just grease it thoroughly.
For a sweeter version, use coconut cream instead of coconut milk and add more sugar.
These are best eaten fresh, but can be reheated in a pan for a few minutes.
