Mix all-purpose flour, coconut milk powder, and sugar in a bowl. Give it a good stir, and then add vanilla extract.

Make sure to mix until everything is well combined. Next, add yeast and pour in coconut milk.

Add some warm water and continue mixing until it forms a paste. Now, add butter and mix until it's fully incorporated.

Let the batter rest for an hour, checking the consistency to make sure it's just right.

In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Scoop the batter with a spoon, drop into hot oil, and cook until it turns golden brown. Remove. Serve hot.
