Author Notes: Appam are bowl-shaped rice pancakes cooked on one side only in a curved iron pan. They are typically served with a coconut milk curry. Even if you can't duplicate the distinctive form, the sweet, yeasty flavor of this recipe is authentic. A well-fermented batter will form small holes (like a lace) all over the appam while cooking. This makes the appams very light.

I'm so glad you posted an appam recipe! They are my favourite--I even hosted a Daring Cooks' challenge centred on them. Time to make them again, I think...
