    Laotian coconut cakes called kanom krok are a beloved street food there.  We made them to be our dessert for the Laotian meal which failed on the first try.  They burned on the outside and would not cook on the inside.  I was using a abelesk pan as opposed to a kanom krok cast iron pan and I needed to add a bit more rice flour to accommodate for that difference.  The second time, they turned out just right.  They are delightful little half spheres that have a touch of green onion in them.  They are light and yummy and I see why they are loved! Although my new friends Jen from Worldonawhim.com and Megan from HelloMeganO.com didn't get to try them, perhaps they will attempt to make them.
