11. Add two tablespoonfuls of batter and spread evenly.
12. When under side is done, put two tablespoonfuls of the filling, spread along the diameter leaving an inch at both ends.

16. If pancake mix is not available, it can be substituted by all-purpose flower (or maida). Sweetened coconut flakes can be substituted by a mixture of grated fresh coconut and 6 tsp of sugar.
