Recipe from Malaysia, for about 40 pancakes

Mix the orange juice with all the batter ingredients, except the flour, until smooth. Run the food processor with the whisk attachment and add the flour a tablespoon at a time, mixing to form a smooth, liquid batter. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. Strain the batter through a fine sieve. Heat a 20-24 cm non-stick frying pan and grease it with a little palm oil. Using a jala cup with two holes in the bottom, approximately 2.5 mm in diameter, on opposite sides, scoop out about 40 ml of the batter and pour about 10-15 g of the batter into the pan in a circular motion to make a seasoned “funny pancake.” Fry for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat until light brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and stack. Continue cooking until all the batter is used up. Makes about 40 pancakes. In Malaysia, they are served as a side dish with curry. For very spicy curries, reduce the amount of chipotle chili powder in the batter to one teaspoon. The sugar and coconut milk bring the spiciness of the chipotle chili powder to a pleasant level. Palm oil should only be added for the first “fun pancake.” After that, if you have a good, nonstick pan, no further additions should be necessary. Any slim plastic cup of approximately 4 cm in diameter is suitable for a jala cup, ideally with a horizontally adjustable handle. The hole spacing should be between 2 and 4 cm. To begin with, place the jala cup in a larger beaker, leaving space at the bottom. Half-fill the jala cup with batter and place the cup over the hot pan. Remove the beaker. The sequence of movements can be varied as desired. An optimal sequence consists of 3-4 right-left movements (right, left, right, left), followed by two smaller, one medium, and one or two large, encompassing circles with a maximum diameter of 15 cm. Finally, place the cup back under the jala cup to stop the batter from flowing. Don’t forget to empty the large cup every now and then.
