Thai Coconut Pancake Recipe - Kanom Krok ขนมครก | Thai Recipes

Finally, the long awaited recipe for kanom krok, the famous little Thai coconut pancakes that are one of the most popular street foods in Thailand! They're so incredibly tasty that I seek them out every single time I go to Thailand...it's an absolute must-have for me.
They're made in a pan with iconic round indentations, creating a little cup of goodness that's crisp on the outside and soft, warm and custardy on the inside. Topped with a variety of toppings from green onions, to corn, to taro, fragrant with the aroma of coconut and jasmine rice...these are easily one of my favourite snacks or desserts in Thailand that's also easy to make if you know the right techniques!

[@GarryD]

Is there a keto version Nong Pailin?

[@ti86da]

Can you send me the recipe of all the ingredients?

[@padgettga]

Can I do them on an oven or air fryer? I cannot get that pan over here

[@andrewvamos7080]

Spent my honeymoon in Thailand and my wife and I were obsessed with these. Can't wait to have them again at home

[@nalayiniantondias813]

Hi Pailin, My name is Mary and I live in Canada. I am a breast cancer patient and I'm under going chemotharapy right now. It will take 6 months to complete. I admire you for your beautiful smile and great simplicity. Cancer is overwhelming, but you and your vids helps me very much. It relaxes and calms me. Thank you so much for that!!! I am a big fan of you, I love you so much

[@paullee64]

[@ZeroCarbDaddy]

My Thai wife makes these. I gave her grilled corn on the cob from the barbeque and wow what a difference when she used it in these. Incredible dessert.

[@ananp3847]

FINALLY THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! fav childhood snack. Thank you so much na ka

[@JoC-ek6fo]

Pai, as a Thai who lives abroad most of her adult life, your channel is simply a godsend to all my Thai food cravings. Ps. Your lovely sense of humor is a huge bonus :D

[@KittiChan1]

My favorite snacks in thailand. The best pan cakes I ever had. I could literally eat 30 of these and still want more.

[@stevenburns2203]

I’m looking for receipts Kao mun Kai ,my son favorite dish.Thanks so much.also I’m very enjoy your video.

[@SN-tv4lv]

I've been looking for this recipe ever since I ate these at the krabi night market. Just loved them. Vegetarian and gluten free! Thanks a ton.

[@kellyh7158]

Omg I’ve been looking for a recipe for this! This is my #1 favorite dessert in Thailand. I didn’t realize the ingredients were so simple. I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ve made this using a packaged mix before from Thailand and I didn’t have that special pan but I used a mini muffin pan/baking unit (almost like a waffle maker but for mini muffins and it worked great too. Although it would be interesting to see someone make this in a waffle pan too. I would totally eat that too 😄

[@Emily-vz1eg]

I think it's really refreshing to see cooking videos where the person making it (even a trained chef) is like "oh, also I forgot to do this thing in the last step so I'm gonna sneak it in now." I often watch cooking videos feeling like I'll never get on that level so it's reassuring to know even people who really know what they're doing mess up sometimes!

[@wansharipah9518]

I' ve found almost all the recipes that i want from your videos. I used to eat those foods as i could remember when i was about five or six years old. I could also remember this coconut pancake food. I am now 61. I luv the way you describe in your videos and thank you.

[@meysaechao5664]

Omg I’m so grateful I found this recipe by you! I tried making it over 10x before and I literally gave up until I came upon this video. Then I decide to give it once last shot. OMG!!! It came out perfect!!!!

[@SunOutage]

Congratulations 👍👍👍

[@lynda1387]

Love love this snacks. One of my favourite. Was disappointed that i missed it while i was in Thailand 3 years ago but I'm going back again end of this year and so excited to eat it. Thankyou Pai for showing us how to make this. Will definitely give it a try one day!😁

[@georgethompson3763]

Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate your channel, the techniques details and the effort your put in your videos. I often buy Kanom Krok at a Thai Temple here in America. Usually once or twice a year, when they have events such as Songkran. Each batch takes a little bit of time and it's interesting to watch the vendors prepare them, often juggling between two sets of pans, while also serving other types of food! Kanom Krok are so popular, people are willing to wait 30 min, an hour or even more, to get some. It's unbelievable! I've never seen the vendors prepare the actual recipe, they usually have the preparation ready in bottles or large containers. I had no idea there was cooked rice in it. Thanks again!

[@OtakuShindiiHang]

Omg, I was craving these for so long!! I'm so glad I found this video for the recipe!

[@LisaNovak95]

Wooooo yes! Finally!! I LOVE kanom krok. Reminds me of when we'd visit kun yai in Changmai. Cannot wait to try making this!

[@happypolkadots7544]

Omg i have been waiting for you to do this recipe! Thank you beautiful! 😍

[@ainutasneem1095]

Thank u for the recipe. I love this dessert when i was child about 14 years ago and i never forget about the taste. They sell it in my hometown Rantau Panjang, Malaysia.

[@HeavyArmsJin]

I have to say that this food is pretty much one of the tastiest thing i have ever put inside my mouth, it's sooooo good

[@davidjustdavid3955]

[@anitayaj]

I had these for the first time last year and it was so good! Super easy to make. Thanks for sharing!

[@Charlotte-ol2ev]

This is so awesome. I tried this first time in bangkok and now I'm trying to figure it out how to make it at home. This is prefect!!

[@melt9863]

Made this and added chopped mango as a topping. So delicious we devoured the entire batch!

[@mynameisstilljafo4063]

I had these at the Sunday Night Market in Phuket Town a few weeks back. Love it. Especially when there's corn in the custard.

[@amiemagar2294]

Wow, I was looking for this recipe since forever! Thanks a lot.

[@annyt5466]

I got so excited! One of my favorite desserts! Can you make a video of sweet corn pudding?! Watching your videos has pushed me to learn how to make a lot of my childhood foods (I grew up not wanting to learn from my family and regret it now!) & has helped me ask my parents how to make certain foods now

[@noelrajesh]

Ohh this is just my favorite kanom and was looking for a simple recipe for this. Thank you!!

[@DawnRoseAngel]

Thanks Pai! Was waiting for this recipe. Looks delish!!!

Everytime I am in Thailand, I need to buy this when I stumble upon it. This is freaking addictive...

[@rodleash]

FINALLY!!! The long-awaited moment has arrived! Great video, as usual. Thanks for doing it. I believe this is the first video you've done featuring both mini-whisks simultaneously. Nice to see they're getting along well.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Lol! This is a serious job, requires TWO mini whisks!

This looks so yummy! Thank you for the recipe 😊

[@orangemoon_8428]

In Holland (The Netherlands) we use a poffertjes pan, we make poffertjes (small puffed pancakes) in them 😋 and dust them with lots if icing sugar and a knob of butter on top.

[@gstoytcheva]

To add: the Dutch "poffertjes" pan's holes are actually small and good for this recipe. The large one you refer to in the video (saying it's too large) is for Danish pancakes called aebleskiver.

[@rowenarosario7631]

Hi, ms. Pailin! Another interesting recipe im definitely going to try. By the way, i love how you explain things. Your eloquence is admirable!

[@ks.7425]

Recently visited your country. What an amazing, beautiful and peaceful place. Your people are warm, kind and so loving. Food is out of this world delicious!!

[@wannasith]

For me, it is the most delicious Thai dessert. Mango sticky rice is the second 😋

[@iStephie]

My favorite! Can't wait to make these for my grandmother! ❤

[@DrSMacsay]

I was recently in Thailand for the first time, and I loved the people, the food and the gorgeous nature! One evening my dinner became 3 street kitchen servings of Kanom Krok, lol! They are soooo delicious! Just watched a few of your videos and love the recipe choices, your humor and your amazing cooking skills. Keep doing what you do! Love it!

[@bend.6091]

A Thai here. Thank for your compliment and welcome. But don't expect too much. You know, too high expectation ususally leads to disapointment when things don't turn out as we expect. Thialnd, like every places, have bothe good and bad things, also good and bad people. Hope you met the first ones wherever you go. Enjoy your time here. Have a nice day.

[@SunKumphak]

So good. I love Kamon Krok. Thanks for cooking demonstration. See you again soon.

[@abiri7309]

Made this pancake today and it tasted wonderful.. Got a compliment from chef... Thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us🙂

[@SunOutage]

You can make this from a small pancake pan as well.

[@godschild5785]

Ok teacher Pailin! Watching u cooking is joyful...😉😉😉

[@larrysong953]

Yummy. I remembered this sweet recipe in Mark Wiens street food. I personally like coconut flavor.

[@simonagazzera2396]

OMG i'm so happy i found your channel I can finally eat this sweets after 15 years! I'm half Thai but I forgot the language when I was very little as I live in italy but with your channel I can learn how to cook a lot of things I used to love as a kid when I went to Thailand to my relatives 😍

[@conceptrat]

Here in NZ I use Kara Coconut Milk and Cream. It's got lots of flavour and no fillers.

[@GretschGod]

I used to get a bag of these every evening from the market when I was living in Lamphun!

[@Vimenze]

The Dutch name for the pan is "Poffertjes pan". So for whoever wants have an easy search, that would do just fine. Best of luck.

[@flowertina9891]

I just came back from Thailand and I already miss kanom krok. Maybe I'll have the courage to try your recipe soon

[@orangecloud2721]

Just like how I remembered it when I was in Bangkok. Thanks for the recipe!

[@kimluu8085]

It was a simple and easy recipe! Thanks for sharing!

[@gelimey2306]

My fav! We call it noom kruork. But for us, it’s not a desert. We put scallions in ours. It’s a dish that we eat, drizzled with fish sauce mix with a bit of coconut milk and chili’s. Yum! 😍

[@poleyluard1750]

I tried your recipe. Thank you so much !!! I tasted them in Laos. We don't have that kind of street food in France. So it's a real pleasure to feel like travelling. :-)

[@janetsydney42]

Lovely...I wana try this desert...😋😋😋...And by looking i would say you just made it yummm😋

[@jennmariedeloshia427]

Super excited to make. Found the kanom krok pan in a thrift store.

[@fikriyah15]

I just knew about this dessert just yesterday at a Thailand Food Fair, they made it this for free- for people to test out, and I did. Stood there for a while, eating newly cooked batches.

[@Alex-bq7qm]

Kanom krok is so simple yet sooo delicious. And sweet corn totally makes sense and is really good too. Oh how I miss my 20 kanom krok for 50 THB from the food market at central plaza pinklao after work. 😫

[@ALing-ff2qf]

I had to search how to make it because this weekend is Laos New Years and there’s only one vendor who makes these and it’s the only time I get to eat them. 😋 Glad I found your video. Can’t wait to make it. Yummmmmmmm

[@jemakan]

I’ve been looking for these since I went to Thailand!!!

It’s 9PM in Thailand now and all I really want to eat is Kanom Krok! I’m so excited to know that there is cooked rice in it hahaha 🤣💓

[@muralidharmurahari3534]

This is similar to the southern Indian dish of PANIYARAM. That is made with rice batter, lentils and slivered coconut. Thanks for sharing this. ( Sssshhh!!! I am in love with you and your recipes as well!!!)

These look amazing! I guess I gotta order that pan, and I'm kicking myself that I did not eat these when I was last in Thailand. Always a next time :)

[@ameenaaneesh6862]

In Kerala, south India, we have a rice bread called 'appam' with the same ingredients, but fermented with yeast. As for the frying pan, we make a dessert called 'unniyappam'. Lovely recipe!

[@Astavyastataa]

I don’t think we use yeast in our appam, but they are delicious.

[@angela281]

It tastes completely different from appam

[@peterstang]

That's lovely!!! I like it.

[@sinancooking1256]

Oh my favorite cake , I always do it at the weekend with my family

[@semco72057]

I ate many Thai dishes while stationed there during the Vietnam War, but not that dish. It looks great and a dessert with vegetables in it is something different for me.
