Ingredients
UnitsScale
Pancake Batter
240ml Whole milk (1 cup)
48g All purpose flour (1/3 cup 1 tbsp)
30g Cornstarch (1/4 cup)
25g Granulated sugar (2 tbsp)
3 Large eggs
15g Unsalted butter (1 tbsp)
1-2 drops Green food coloring
Vegetable oil, for greasing
Filling
600ml Heavy cream (2 1/2 cups)
150g Granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
3-4 Durian pods, fresh or frozen
Instructions
Pancake Batter
Combine the milk, flour, cornstarch, sugar, eggs, butter, and green food coloring in a blender and pulse until smooth
Pour the batter through a fine-meshed sieve and set aside
Grease a medium-sized frypan with vegetable oil (I used a 9.5 inch/24 cm non-stick pan) and heat it over low heat
Add a 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan and swirl to create an even layer, heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the surface becomes matter, and remove from the pan (no need to flip the pancakes)
Repeat with the remaining batter and allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack
Filling
Combine the cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk until it reaches stiff peaks
Assembly
Remove the seeds from the durian pods and divide them into 12 equal portions
Place a pancake, smooth side down on your work surface, and spoon 1/4 cup whipped cream into the center
Top with a portion of durian and cover with another spoonful of cream
Fold two sides of the pancake in and roll from the bottom up to form a pancake pillow shape
Place the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 hour to set, then enjoy!
