Serabi

Submitted by Coasty

"This is one of my childhood favourites and a traditional Indonesian dish. It is eaten as a snack or generally for afternoon tea and not usually as a dessert. Serabi is like a pancake but only cooked on 1 side. I have modified it by adding the fruit so you could also serve it for brunch/breakfast. They are traditionally cooked in an earthenware pan but a standard fry pan is fine.Try and fine light coconut milk."
