Instant Hoppers vs Hoppers with long-fermented batter

I have tried so many recipes over the past years. Some recipes don’t need fermentation at all and you can make hoppers in less than 30 mins. The problem I had with those instant Hopper recipes is, they don’t have that iconic fermented flavor which I love. So I came up with this easy long-fermented Sri Lankan hoppers recipe that is just as easy as instant hoppers. But has that authentic hopper flavor. The key here is longer fermentation with a tiny bit of yeast.

My Schedule to make hoppers

For this recipe, you need to make the batter about 18 – 20 hours earlier. So need a bit of planning. My schedule is, I mix flour, water, and yeast the night before I go to sleep around 10 pm. And make the batter the next day evening around 6:30 pm and start making hoppers at 7:00 pm. If you want to extend the time, you can reduce the amount of yeast even more.

The recipe yields 10 – 12 medium size hoppers.
