Directions

  1. Sprinkle the khoa in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir for 30 seconds, add the sugar and stir constantly until it melts. ≈ 4 min
  2. Add the milk and stir for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens and forms a ball. Pour onto a plate.
  3. Once it has cooled, knead it, divide it into small balls, and flatten each ball into a small disc.
  4. Boil the water and sugar together until the syrup thickens slightly (reducing by a quarter), and keep it warm.
  5. Mix the flour, rice flour, and semolina, and gradually add water until you have a dough that is neither too runny nor too thick. ≈ 4 min
  6. Heat the oil, then reduce the heat.
  7. Dip each pancake individually in the batter and fry them, turning frequently, until they are golden brown.
  8. Drain the fruit and immediately immerse it in the hot syrup. Allow it to soak for at least an hour to fully absorb the syrup.
