makeahapan

Makeahapan is a traditional dish from the Philippines, particularly popular in the Visayas region. It is a type of pancake made from a batter of grated cassava, coconut milk, and sometimes eggs. The batter is typically seasoned with salt and sugar, and sometimes flavored with annatto seeds for a reddish color. The dish is often served with a variety of toppings, such as grated coconut, sugar, or caramelized onions, and is commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or snack.

The preparation of makeahapan involves grating cassava and soaking it in water to remove excess starch. The grated cassava is then mixed with coconut milk, eggs (if using), salt, and sugar. The batter is typically poured onto a hot griddle or pan and cooked until bubbles form on the surface. Once cooked, the pancake is flipped and cooked on the other side. The process is repeated until the batter is finished.

Makeahapan is a versatile dish that can be customized with various toppings and accompaniments. It is often served with a side of rice or other dishes, and can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. The dish is known for its sweet and savory flavor profile, and its simplicity in preparation makes it a popular choice for both home cooking and street food.
