Bein Mont

Bein mont, also known as 'poppy cake' in Burmese, is a type of pancake that is commonly sold as street food. It is a customary snack from Burma and a member of the larger mont family of foods. There is rice flour in the pancake batter. The pancakes are named because, after they are cooked, they are dipped in a jaggery syrup with coconut shavings and topped with sesame, peanut, and poppy seeds.

Ingredients

Rice flour, 250 grams

300 milliliters of soy or cow's milk

100–500 g of palm sugar

two eggs

30 gram melted butter or 30 milliliters of coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preparing Raw Ingredient

To combine all the dry ingredients, place the flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt in a medium-sized basin or the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times. In case you're using jaggery or palm sugar, split the vanilla pod and remove the seeds. Transfer the seeds and the pod to the pan. Add some suage with a few drops of water, and heat over medium heat. Once the sugar dissolves completely, turn off the heat and let it to cool.

2. Whisk And Mix

Pour the eggs into the flour bowl after whisking them with 30 grams of melted butter. Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture, then progressively add the milk, vanilla, jaggery, and palm sugar syrup mixture that has cooled. Whisk continuously until the batter has the consistency of a single cream.

3. HeatingUp

Grease a nonstick frying pan with the leftover butter, then add a ladle of pancake batter to the hot pan and cook for a few minutes, or until golden.Sprinkle a teaspoon of the seed mixture over the pancake's top when bubbles start to form on top, then turn it over and continue cooking it for a little time on the other side.

4. Serving

While preparing the remaining pancakes, remove from the fire and keep warm.When they are all cooked, arrange them in the chosen stacking order, top with any leftover seeds, pour with the leftover vanilla palm sugar syrup, and serve.
