Durian pancakes. The name itself might raise an eyebrow or two. For those uninitiated, durian is a Southeast Asian fruit known for its, shall we say, distinctive aroma. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fruit, but trust me on this one: when incorporated into pancakes, the result is pure magic. I still remember the first time I tried durian, a friend practically forced me to! I was a bit skeptical, to say the least. Now? I can't get enough. And these pancakes? Oh, they're on another level.
These aren't just your average pancakes. The creamy, custard-like texture of durian infuses every bite with a unique flavor that's both sweet and savory, with a hint of that characteristic durian funk (in the best way possible, I promise!). They're fluffy, tender, and incredibly satisfying. I usually serve mine with a dollop of whipped cream and some extra durian pieces for the ultimate indulgence. My family? They go crazy for them. Especially my little niece, who calls them 'stinky but yummy' pancakes. Bless her heart!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a seperate bowl, whisk together the mashed durian, milk, egg, and melted butter. Make sure the durian is well mashed for a smooth batter. I sometimes find chunks so this is a good step.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Test the pan's heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will start to form on the surface as they cook, signaling it's time to flip.
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. Press gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve the durian pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or extra durian pieces. Consider a dusting of powdered sugar for a nice presentation.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
- If you don't have fresh durian, you can use frozen durian pulp, thawed.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the durian.
