Directions

  1. Wash the rice and let it ferment in a damp jute bag for two nights, then rinse it until it no longer has an odor. ≈ 2 min
  2. Knead the dough, place it in a fine mesh bag, and let it drain under a weight. ≈ 2 min
  3. Knead the dough with the sugar and honey until it forms a smooth, flowing mass that doesn’t break apart. ≈ 4 min
  4. Mash the yolks in a bowl and use them to coat a large frying pan that has been heated over low heat.
  5. Pour the batter into a perforated container and pour it slowly over the frying pan in several passes, creating a delicate, lace-like pattern.
  6. Once cooked, fold it with a fork and stack the lace to drain. Re-grease the frying pan before adding each layer.
