"Laklak" is a traditional Balinese dessert, typically served as a snack or breakfast item. It's made from rice flour and coconut milk, often flavored with pandan leaf and served with palm sugar syrup or grated coconut. Here's a basic recipe for making laklak:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Pandan leaf extract or pandan essence (for flavor and color)

    • Place the banana leaf square on the pan. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the banana leaf, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
    • Cover the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly golden and the top is set.
    • Flip the laklak using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
    • Remove from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

  3. Serving:

    • Serve the laklak warm, drizzled with palm sugar syrup or sprinkled with grated coconut.

  4. Enjoy:

    • Laklak is best enjoyed fresh and warm. It pairs well with a cup of Balinese coffee or tea.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference, and you can also experiment with different toppings or fillings such as chocolate sauce or sliced fruits.
