Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1-2 tsp ube extract (depending on how strong you like the taste to be)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons ube extract
- 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- Unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
Instructions
- 1
Combine the coconut milk, condensed milk, ube extract, and salt together in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and let simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Set aside to cool and thicken while you prepare the pancakes.

Prepare the pancakes by first whisking the milk, egg, ube extract, and butter together until smooth. Sift in the flour, sugar, and baking powder, then gently whisk to combine (small lumps are okay, just avoid over mixing!)

To cook the pancakes, heat a lightly buttered griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Measure approximately 1/3 cup of the pancake batter, and pour into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges of the pancake are dry and bubbles have formed all over the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked all the way through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve with a generous drizzle (or scoop) of the ube sauce and top with the toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy!
