Bánh Khọt (Banhkhot)

Vietnamese bánh khọt are savory mini pancakes that offer a delightful culinary experience. Originating from Southern Vietnam, these crispy, golden-brown pancakes are made from a batter of rice flour and coconut milk, cooked in a special mold to create small, round cakes with a crisp exterior and tender interior. Traditionally topped with shrimp, green onions, and sometimes mung beans, bánh khọt is often served with fresh herbs, lettuce, and a dipping sauce. Each bite combines the crispy texture of the pancake with the freshness of herbs and the tanginess of the sauce, making it a popular and flavorful street food.
