- 60 g Granulated sugar(Adjust to your sweetness preference.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt(Enhances the flavors.)
- 50 ml Water(To achieve the correct batter consistency.)
- for greasing the pan Vegetable oil or Coconut oil(To prevent sticking and ensure crispiness.)

Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice flour, sugar, and salt until well combined. Gradually pour in the coconut milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Stir in the water until the batter is thin and pourable, similar to heavy cream. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Heat the Khanom Krok pan: Place a special dimpled Khanom Krok pan (or a non-stick mini muffin pan if unavailable) over medium heat. Allow it to heat up thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes. Once hot, lightly grease each dimple with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 3
Cook the first side: Carefully ladle the batter into each hot, greased dimple, filling them about two-thirds full. Immediately sprinkle your chosen toppings (corn, scallions, or shredded coconut) onto the surface of the batter. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and turn golden brown, and you see small bubbles forming on the surface.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Cook the second side and finish: Using a small skewer or chopstick, gently loosen the edges of each pancake. Carefully flip them over to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through, slightly golden, and firm to the touch. The center should remain soft and custardy.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Serve: Gently remove the cooked Khanom Krok from the pan. Traditionally, two halves are paired together to form a small cup. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture contrast – crispy edges and a soft, creamy interior.
