Which snack is a Thai coconut pancake cooked in a special dimpled pan?

The Thai coconut pancake cooked in a special dimpled pan is khanom khrok.

Khanom khrok is made from a rice-flour batter combined with coconut milk and cooked in small round wells. Vendors commonly use a two-part pan: a lower layer cooks first, followed by a creamy coconut topping. The result is crisp around the edges and soft in the center.

Common toppings include scallions, sweet corn, taro, pumpkin, or young coconut. Despite the snack’s small size, its texture combines a browned exterior with a rich, custard-like interior.

Khanom khrok is sold as a street food and market snack in Thailand. It is sometimes described in English as Thai coconut pancakes, but it is not the same as a Western pancake because it is cooked in individual hemispherical wells and usually has distinct batter layers.
