Coconut Pancakes with Pear Sauce

For the pancake lover! Inspired by the pancakes at Milestones with a bit of research, trial and tweaking.
Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 (400 ml) can light coconut milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp almond extract
Pear Sauce (option 1)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 pears, sliced or cubed
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
Method:
  1. In small saucepan, mix sugar and water. Bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Pour into small pitcher.
  2. Return saucepan to cooking element, and cook pears in butter until pears are tender juices are mainly absorbed, a few minutes.
  3. Add sugar/water to pears and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 cup water, stirring until it bubbles. Set aside.
  4. In mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients for pancakes.
  5. Stir in coconut milk, eggs, oil and extract.
  6. Cook on preheated nonstick griddle on low heat, flipping when one side is done.
  7. Serve with pear sauce. Makes 12 pancakes.
Pear Sauce (option 2)
  • Chop drained, canned pears. Heat drained liquid with 1 Tbsp cornstarch/cup of liquid and sugar to taste. Stir in pears. Add coconut or almond flavoring.
For a gourmet taste, beat 1/2 pkg cream cheese with 2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Use as a spread, instead of butter.
