Ingredients for Traditional Hoppers

2 cups MDK Easy Hopper Flour
1 ¼ cups water (adjust for batter consistency)
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for slightly sweet hoppers)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Optional: 1 egg per hopper (for egg hoppers)

Step-by-Step Hopper Recipe

1. Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine MDK Easy Hopper Flour, salt, and sugar. Gradually add water, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be slightly runny but thick enough to coat the pan.

2. Rest the Batter:
Allow the batter to rest for 10–15 minutes. This helps in achieving the perfect texture with crisp edges and soft centers.

3. Heat the Hopper Pan:
Place a traditional hopper pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

4. Pour the Batter:
Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter thinly around the edges, leaving a thicker center.

5. Cook the Hopper:
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp, and the center is cooked through. For egg hoppers, crack an egg into the center before covering.

6. Serve:
Carefully remove the hopper with a spatula. Serve hot with traditional Sri Lankan accompaniments like coconut sambol, lunu miris, or curry.

Tips for Perfect Hoppers Every Time

Ensure the pan is properly preheated before pouring the batter
Adjust water quantity for thinner or thicker hoppers as desired
For extra flavour, add a few drops of coconut milk to the batter
Always cover the pan while cooking to trap steam for soft centers
