3. Hoppers are a breakfast bread from Sri Lanka, the island country at the tip of India. They are yeasted rice flour pancakes, a cross between crpes and English muffins in consistency. Cooked in a wok, they have thin, crispy edges and thick, puffy centers. The quickly mixed hatter must sit for 1 to 2 hrs before cooking, so make it after dinner and let it ferment overnight. Serve with butter and honey or possibly jam.
