Banh can Phan Rang clay pot pancakes

Method

1. 1 Mix rice flour with cold water and a pinch of salt, then let the mixture rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to settle.
2. 2 Heat the clay mold over charcoal or a stove until very hot, then brush it with a thin layer of oil.
3. 3 Pour the batter into the mold, crack a quail egg or add shrimp or squid on top, then cover and let it sit for 3 minutes.
4. 4 Pry the pastry open when the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then press the two pieces together.
5. 5 Drizzle with scallion oil and serve with sweet and sour fish sauce and shredded green mango.

With an appliance

• Oven 28 min

  Replace steps 2-4: preheat small muffin tins on the middle rack of the oven at 230 degrees for 5 minutes, pour in the batter and bake for 7 minutes, then rotate the tray for 4 minutes; making multiple muffins at once results in evenly cooked bottoms but lacks the earthy flavor of the clay mold.
