Mofo gasy is a popular street food in Madagascar served for breakfast food and is often eaten with coffee. In the coastal regions this mofo (or bread) is made with coconut milk and is known as mokary.

Ingredients

• ½ cup Whole-wheat pastry flour ((or use all purpose flour))
• ¼ + 2 cup tbsps Cream Rice or Rice rawa (of)
• ½ tsp yeast (Instant)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method

3. Heat an aebleskiver pan on medium heat. Put ¼tsp oil and pour about 1tbsp batter in each well. Cook for 1~2 minutes or until the bottoms get golden brown. Using a fork or a wooden skewer, flip them over and cook on the other side until golden and the inside is cooked through.
