Combine the ¾ cup whole milk and 1 ½ teaspoons vinegar. Whisk together, then let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.
Add the 1 egg, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and 5 tablespoons unsalted butter. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until everything is incorporated.
Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. While the batter sits, heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-low heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add a teaspoon of a neutral oil.
Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to drop three scoops of pancake batter into the skillet. Let the pancakes cook until the bottoms are golden brown, and the tops begin to bubble – about 3 to 4 minutes.
Use a thin-set spatula to flip the pancakes over and let them cook until the bottoms are golden brown – about 2 to 3 more minutes.
Carefully transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes with shredded coconut and maple syrup or coconut syrup.
