For a fun twist on pancakes, try adding some pandan extract–the vanilla-coconut tasting extract that has a natural green color! To take it up a notch, we topped our pandan pancakes with toasted coconut and stuffed them with homemade coconut custard for a sweet and creamy surprise!

How to Make It

1. Step
Make the coconut custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.
2. Step
Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
3. Step
Once the coconut milk is simmering, very slowly pour into the bowl with the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine and temper the eggs.
4. Step
Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2–3 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a clean medium bowl and whisk in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
5. Step
Set the bowl over another bowl filled with ice water (make sure the water level is not so high that it gets into the custard) and let the custard cool for 10 minutes.
6. Step
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Step
Once the custard has cooled, scoop onto the prepared baking sheet in 1-tablespoon discs, spacing evenly. You should have at least 20 custard discs. Transfer to the freezer for 90 minutes, until frozen.
8. Step
Make the pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and pandan extract. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine.
9. Step
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
10. Step
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
11. Step
Heat a large nonstick skillet or a pancake griddle over medium-low heat and grease with nonstick spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and cook the pancake halfway, about 2-3 minutes. Place a disc of frozen coconut custard in the center, cover the custard with about 1 tablespoon more batter and flip. Cook until golden brown, 2–3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and coconut custard to make 20 pancakes total.
12. Step
Serve with butter, maple syrup, and toasted coconut flakes.
13. Step
Enjoy!
