Whisk the rice flour, yeast, sugar, warm water, and half the coconut milk.
Ferment the batter at room temperature for 12 hours.
Add the remaining coconut milk and salt to make a pourable batter.
Oil and heat a small bowl-shaped pan.
Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl the pan to spread it thinly up the sides.
Cover and cook the hopper for 3 minutes; the edges should be crisp and the center soft.
Cook the remaining batter the same way and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Ferment the batter overnight; rushed fermentation will not give the lace edges and soft spongy center.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hoppers with a coconut vegetable stew or an optional egg breakfast plate.
