Mkatra Foutra is like a mix between bread or a pancake. It’s very popular as a Comoros breakfast food! This dish is made with yeast, meaning that the dough needs about an hour to rise before it can be enjoyed, so plan accordingly!
Heat water in the microwave for about 10 seconds, until it’s warm, but not hot. Add a pinch of sugar and the dry yeast into the water, and leave the yeast to rise for about 10 minutes.
Once the yeast has risen, add it to a bowl with the flour, egg, and salt. Mix until the liquid is absorbed. The texture will be shaggy. Add the coconut milk until the batter is pourable but still thick.
Place the batter in a glass bowl and cover with a dish towel. Leave it to rise for 45 minutes to an hour in a dark, warm place.
Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter per pancake in the skillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Once the bottom is browned, use a spatula to flip and cook the other side.
Remove once both sides are cooked. Spread with butter and enjoy!
