Vietnamese Savory Prawn Coconut Pancakes Bánh Khọt

We will be doing a Rose event in July, where each couple brings a couple of bottles of Rose and some sort of finger food.

I was watching a food show on TV and they were making banh khot - a small pancake with a prawn in the middle of it - and what did they use but an ebelskiver pan which I had posted on before - we have been doing savoury (as opposed to sweet) ebelskivers as nibbles to eat with wine.

If anyone is familiar with banh khot, please speak up and give us some tips. If anyone is interested in them, see

That looks really excellent, Bill. (...but I have none of the main ingredients, nor an ebelskiver pan, so I'll just admire it from a distance).

Cool idea, those round little cups. Perhaps any crepe batter would do?

I picked up an ebelskiver pan a couple of years ago, and it's really a lot of fun coming up with different batters and fillings for it. I've never tried this prawn/coconut recipe though, much as I love Viet foods. I do want to try making my own takoyaki one of these day, but it will have to be when my wife is away. She's rather put off by the idea of eating octopus, convinced that a sucker will get stuck in her throat

Do not, under any circumstances, watch this video of live octopus sushi (especially not about 2:00 into it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8czotIM__SY
