Vietnamese Crispy Sizzling Coconut Pancake

Crispy savoury sizzling pancakes...

These golden crispy Bánh Xèo are the perfect base for a savoury filling made up of prawns, red peppers and bean sprouts.  There are no eggs in this batter, which is made from rice flour and coconut milk.  Instead, ground turmeric gives this pancake it's lovely golden colour.

Serve the pancake with lettuce of your choice and fresh herbs like mint and watercress.  Then, eat it with a tangy dipping sauce made from fish sauce and fresh lime juice.
