Description

Easy Sri Lankan hoppers recipe that uses rice flour. And uses 18-hour
fermentation to get the authentic hopper taste.

Ingredients

200 grams Rice flour

 1 pinch of yeast

3/4 cups water (175mg)

200 milliliters of coconut milk

1 teaspoon sugar

salt as needed

Instructions

1. The night before you make hoppers (18hrs - 20hrs earlier) make a very
thigh dough-like paste using rice flour, yeast, and water. You can use a
spoon or fork to mix this. Then cover with and let it ferment for 18 to 20
hours. It's okay to make them a little earlier or a little later. Do NOT add
sugar or salt.

2. 18 to 20 hours later you should be able to notice that there are some
bubbles on the surface and the paste has risen a little bit.

3.

After 18 - 20 hours add sugar and coconut milk and make a somewhat
thick batter. Not too thick or not too thin. Careful when you add coconut
milk. You might need less or more than 200ml. So add a little by little and
see the consistency is right. Do NOT add salt yet. Now cover again and
let it sit for 30 mins.
4. Meanwhile, add a generous amount of oil to your hopper pan. Let the oil
heat a bit and then add an egg yolk if your pan is too sticky. ( Or you can
use the whole egg if your pan is old and well seasoned) break the egg
yolk in the oil as it frying and rub it all in the pan using your spoon. Then
remove the oil and the egg yolk to a heatproof bowl. We are going to use
this oil to rub the pan before making each hopper. **Skip this step
completely if you're using a nonstick hopper pan.

5. After 30 mins of mixing coconut milk and sugar, add salt to the batter and
mix very well.
