If using canned coconut milk, spoon into a small saucepan 1 ¾ cup of the creamiest part from the top of three cans of coconut milk.
Heat just enough to melt and smooth out the lumps. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Allow to cool before mixing in 2 ½ tablespoon of tapioca or arrowroot flour.
Stir until smooth. Set aside. Combine the remaining coconut milk from the cans and stir until smooth, heating if necessary to melt the coagulated parts. Allow to cool.
Grind the uncooked white rice in a food mill or clean coffee grinder as finely as possible. Do the same with the shredded coconut.
Combine the two with the rice flour, salt and coconut milk. Stir and mix until well blended and smooth. Heat a well-seasoned kanom krok griddle on the stove, in a hot oven or over a small round barbecue kettle with medium-hot charcoals.
When the griddle is hot, brush the surface indentations with peanut or corn oil.
Wait a few seconds before spooning the salty rice mixture into each indentation to about two-thirds full.
The batter should sizzle when it hits the hot . Before the batter sets, add a dab of the sweet coconut cream mixture over the top to fill and sprinkle the center of each cake with a little bit of one of the toppings, or leave plain. Cover with a round lid and allow to cook for a few minutes, or until the pancakes are firm and crispy brown on the bottom. Remove gently with a rounded spoon. Re-grease the griddle before making the next batch. Because rice flour tends to settle, stir the coconut mixture well before pouring onto the griddle.
