"Hoppers"

One of our favorite Sri Lankan dishes!
Meth Gunasekara

(About 1 cup Rice Flour Per person)

4 Cups Rice Flour
1 Can coconut milk
(plus enough water to make a stiff batter)
1/4 tsp. yeast (dry/instant)

If using dry/ instant yeast:
Put 2 tsp. of water + 1 tsp. boiling water
Add yeast to this plus 1 tsp. of sugar, and set aside to rise (about 10 mins.)

Mix together other ingredients then add yeast mixture and mix well.
Put batter in a warm place over night (oven with light on works well)

In the morning, but batter in fridge, take out about 2 hours before cooking, add in more coconut milk to thin batter a little (not too thin though- maybe a bit runnier than pancakes, or like crepes). Add 1 Egg yolk to this to complete the batter.
Cook on a pretty hot pan (like you would for crepes or pancakes, that is lightly oiled).

Serve with various curries, tomatoes and onions in coconut milk, "the red stuff" "the coconut stuff, or creamy lentils.
