Hoppers














Ingredients
For 4

Refined flour
250gms
Rice flour
500gms
Yeast (dry)
1 tsp
Salt
1 tsp
Sugar
1 tsp
Tepid water
350ml
Coconut milk (use ½ coconut)
2 extracts


Mix yeast in tepid water. Add to flours with salt and sugar. Mix well and leave to ferment for about 10 hours. Add coconut milk. Mix well. Place a fry-pan over a slow fire. Grease the pan lightly with gingelly oil or melted butter. Pour in a spoonful of the batter. Take the pan with both hands and give it circular twist so that about 1.25 cm. (1/2”) more of the pan is thinly coated with the batter, which, when the hopper is cooked, forms a crisp brown border. Cover with a cone-shaped tight fitting lid and cook till done.

N.B.       For egg hoppers, when the hopper is half done, make a slight depression in the centre and break an egg carefully into it. Cover the pan and bake till egg is cooked.
