Bein Mont (Burmese Pancake)


Burmese Pancakes

Method:

  • Start by combining your dry ingredients, the rice flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a medium sized bowl or in the bowl of a food processor, pulse a couple of times to blend in all the dry ingredients.
  • If using jaggery or palm sugar, split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds, put the seeds and the pod into a heavy based pan with the jaggery or palm sugar, add a few drops of water, heat over a medium heat, once all the sugar has dissolved, turn heat off, set aside to cool.
  • Whisk the eggs with 30g of the melted butter, make a well in centre of the flour mixture and gradually pour in the whisked eggs, milk and cooled vanilla jaggery, palm sugar syrup mixture or maple syrup, whisking (pulse if using a food processor) all the time until you have a batter the consistency of single cream.
  • With the remaining butter, or coconut oil if you prefer, grease a non stick frying pan. Pour a ladle of pancake mixture into the hot pan and cook for a few minutes or until golden. When bubbles appear on the top sprinkle over a teaspoon of the seed mixture to the upside of the pancake before flipping over and cooking for a while longer on the other side.
  • Add the seed mix and slivered coconut slices or almonds to the upside of the pancake mix before flipping.
  • Remove the pancakes from the heat and keep warm whilst you continue to make the rest.
  • Once all cooked, stack them as desired, scatter over any remaining seeds and drizzle with the remaining vanilla palm sugar syrup and serve.
Best served and eaten immediately accompanied with plain yoghurt, stewed or fresh fruit, a scoop of nut butter and scatter over any remaining seeds.

The Burmese Pancakes are not as light and fluffy as their American counterpart, but  that’s what makes them so much more filling and satisfying.  They are packed full of good things and will fuel you all morning long.
