KANOM KROK: ขนมครก

Warm and gooey, you might see this little cake on streetside in Thailand.


It made from rice flour  and coconut milk, and it's so tempting when just coming out of the pan. Because making these little cakes is not hard, I make it very often, you don't need much ingredients to create it at home. 
There are 2 parts of the batter for Kanom krok, the base (bottom layer) made from rice flour, cooked rice, water and small amount of sugar and salt, when the topping made from coconut milk with load of sugar and enough of salt to add salty and creamy taste to this cakes. By putting the batter into a pot, you will be able to control the quantity of the batter easily as you need to put the right amount of the bottom and topping into small holes of the pan to make it balance in taste ^^.
For making it you can use aebelskiver pan, Takoyaki pan or real Kanom krok pan, be sure to oil the pan before cooking each batch as it can stick to the pan like crazy!
You may want to eat it hot from the pan but it's my words of warning, don't do it as it will burn your mouth, (well, I burn my so many time too as it's so alluring, haha).

  1. I have eaten these at a restaurant before and they were so yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Is there any way to make these if I don't have this special pan?

    1. Well, it's hard to make it without a proper pan, but you can use Takoyaki pan (it's easier to find) or aebelskiver pan too.
