Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Pamie (also known as conci or Thai a leaf).

List the ingredients needed for the recipe, emphasizing the use of fine cornmeal.

Prepare the coconut by cracking it open and removing the flesh from the shell.

Wash the coconut and blend it until finely grated, using a blender instead of grating by hand.

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut with 1 cup of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Add 2 cups of cornmeal to the mixture, ensuring no liquids are added yet.

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, or salted butter if preferred, and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the mixture.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, emphasizing the importance of spices in the recipe.

Optionally, add raisins for extra flavor and texture, but note that the creator is not using them this time.

Warm the banana leaves over an open flame to soften them, making them pliable for wrapping.

Prepare a pot of water to boil for steaming the wrapped Pamie.

Divide the banana leaves into sections for wrapping the filling.

Place a portion of the filling onto a section of banana leaf and wrap it securely, using twine to tie it up.

Steam the wrapped Pamie in the boiling water until cooked through.
