Thai Mini Pancakes ( Kanoom Krang )

These sweet rice pancakes with spring onions, are a tradition in Thailand. Normally made on a big iron plate, you can make them at home if you have a mini pancake pan like the one shown below and a lid to cover it. They are made from 2 halfs stuck together with a binding topping. The lower layer contains spring onions and salt, and the topping layer is sweeter. In future recipes we'll reuse the pan to make other desserts, so if you want to buy one you can reuse it for many things.Ingredients For Base 120 gms Rice Flour230 ml Water230 ml Water (Again)80 gms Cooked Fragrant Rice60 gms Shredded Fresh Coconut1/2 Teaspoon Salt1 Chopped Spring Onion
