1/4 cup | 59ml | Water |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Brown sugar - (packed) |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Vanilla extract |
1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Finely-chopped walnuts |

In a bowl, blend egg, water, and milk with a wire whisk. Add flour and salt; mix until smooth. Add color to tint batter pale green. Pour batter through a strainer into a bowl.
To make filling: Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add coconut and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add water, brown sugar, vanilla, and nuts. Continue to cook until water has evaporated and mixture is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Heat a nonstick 8-inch frying pan over medium heat. Brush with about 1/4 teaspoon butter. Add 1/4 cup batter to pan; tilt pan in all directions so batter covers entire surface. Cook until pancake is set and bottom is lightly brown, about 2 minutes; turn over and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer. Remove from pan; repeat to make remaining pancakes.
To prepare sauce: In a small pan, combine coconut milk, water, and sugar. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Remove sauce from heat.
To assemble, place about 1/4 cup filling in center of each pancake. Roll to enclose filling; place on a serving plate. Drizzle sauce over pancakes; garnish with chopped nuts, if used.
This recipe yields 8 pancakes.
