Egg Hoppers

Hoppers which are also known as Appa, are an iconic food of Sri Lanka.

It begins with a simple pancake batter that’s spruced up with coconut milk and a splash of toddy (Sri Lankan palm wine). The unique part is that hoppers are cooked in small “wok” like rounded pans so the dough cooks thick and soft on the bottom, and thin and crunchy around the edges.

 Hoppers can be ordered plain, or even better with a fried egg in the middle.
