I found this recipe from Madagascar for Mofo gasy, meaning ‘Malagasy bread’, which is made from a batter of sweetened rice flour poured into greased circular molds and cooked over charcoal. Mofo gasy is a popular street food 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.
I followed the recipe from here, almost to the T – except that I used wholewheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour. These little yeasty breads are crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. They cook pretty fast, the only time consuming part is waiting for the batter to rise. They are mildly sweet — I served them for breakfast with maple syrup, fruit and juice.

Description
A slightly sweet cake or bread, mofo gasy is served as a breakfast street food with coffee in Madagascar. Think of it like a pancake.
Ingredients
- Whole-wheat pastry Flour – ½ cup (or use all purpose flour)
- Cream of Rice or Rice rawa – 1/4 cup+2 tbsp
- Instant yeast – ½ tsp
- Sugar – 2tbsp, divided use
- Lukewarm Water – 3/4 cup
- Condensed Milk – 1½ tsp (optional)
- Vanilla extract – ½ tsp
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cream of rice, yeast, 1tsp sugar and water. Mix well, cover the bowl and set aside to rise for 1~2 hours. The more the batter rests, the more chance cream of rice has to soften.
- Stir in the remaining sugar, condensed milk (if using) and vanilla extract. Mix to combine. Cover and set aside until the mixture gets frothy, about 30~45 minutes.
- 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.
- Serve hot for breakfast or at room temperature as a snack.

This definitely sounds interesting, I’m thinking maybe with some creme fraiche? YUM!
Hello. Could you kindly give the weight of “1/2 cup of floor” and “1/4 cup of cream rice”? Thanks!
Hi, 1/2cup wholewheat pastry flour would be around 50gms and all purpose flour would be 60 gms. 1/4 cup Cream of rice weighs between 40~45 gms. Hope this helps.
Thyis recipe is seriously messed up. There is no way you can have 2 and 1/3 cups of cream of rice with only 3/4 cups of water and end up with a batter. It is a crumbly dry mixture. Please check this for typos.

Hi Jodi, Sorry that you are having trouble with the recipe. There is a typo in the recipe; cream of rice should be 1/4cup+2tbsp and not 2 1/3 cups. Good luck.
Can u make them without the special pan?
How many does this recipe make? Thanks!
This recipe makes about 15~18 pancakes.
this shit made me hard!
