Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp (25g) baking powder
  • 2 tbsp (15g) granulated sugar
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (12g) ube powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) full fat coconut milk
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1/3 cup (80g) ube halaya
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, for the pan
  • 0.25 cup (60ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • sliced mangoes
  • toasted coconut flakes

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, ube halaya, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture vigorously until the ube halaya is fully incorporated and the liquid is a uniform, velvety purple.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ube powder. Create a well in the center and pour in the wet ube base.
  3. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together gently with a spatula just until the flour streaks disappear; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter foams, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until centers are firm.
  6. Plate the pancakes and serve with a generous drizzle of sweetened condensed milk, sliced mangoes, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
