The Pancake Option!

I had promised a friend that I was going to post this recipe, because I had suggested he make Vibibi - Rice pancakes and be all authentic, only to find out he had no idea what I meant. So this is for you, make sure you try and make them tomorrow morning ;) I remember back in Scotland a close friend of mine and I went to a get-together and they had these there, so through out the whole night, she kept going on about Vibibi.  Must have been the first time she had ever eaten them or she thought the name was funny ;) While they are sweet and are definitely quite addictive, they are also simple to make. You can have them in the morning for breakfast, or as a snack with Kikombe cha Chai - a cup of tea after a siesta or serve them as dessert . Whichever the case, you will definitely enjoy them.

Ingredients

Rice - 2 Cups (soaked overnight)

Coconut milk - 1.5 Cups

Yeast - 1 teaspoons

Flour - 1 tablespoon

Cardamom - 1 teaspoon

Sugar - 1 Cup

Procedure

Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add a pinch of sugar and set aside, until yeast mixture foams.

Blend the rice and the Coconut milk until smooth. Add the yeast, flour, cardamom in the mixture and mix it all up. Cover in a warm place to let it rise.

When  the batter has doubled in size, add the sugar and mix well. Make sure your batter is not too thick, if it is just add a little milk.

Heat up your griddle or skillet, and spread about 1 tablespoon of oil. When hot, pour some of the batter into the griddle or skillet and spread to form a circle just like the way you would make pancakes. When golden brown on the bottom and flip it carefully. Repeat the process, adding more oil when necessary. Enjoy!
