Ingredients

1-1/2 cup of Rice flour 1⁄2 cup of Plain flour
1 cup of Honey
Water

A pinch of salt Vanilla extract Coconut oil

STEPS

1. In a separate bowl, sift together rice flour and plain flour. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla extract.
2. Pour 2/3 of the honey sifted flour mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
3. Add the honey and continue mixing until the batter is smooth. If the batter is too thick, gradually add water until it reaches a smooth consistency.
4. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave the batter to rest for around 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes, check the batter. If it has thickened too much, gradually add a little more water and mix until it reaches a smooth consistency.
6. Heat some coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
7. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to pour a small amount of batter into the oil.
8. Immediately swirl the oil towards the kawum using a spoon to create a round shape.
9. When the underside of the kawum turns golden brown, use a thin stick to make a small hole in the middle of the upper side of the kawum.
10. Flip the kawum over and let it cook until the other side turns golden brown as well.
11. Use a spoon to remove the kawum from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel.
12. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used.
13. Serve the kawum while they are still warm and crispy.

Note: You can adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve the desired consistency. The consistency of the batter can affect the texture of the kawum.
