Ingredients

Coconut filling:

  • 100 ml hot water
  • 50 g palm sugar 1 disc
  • 5 g tapioca starch
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 100 g dried unsweetened shredded coconut

Pandan crepes:

  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 166 ml pandan juice 150ml water + 4 pandan leaves = 166ml pandan juice
  • 50 ml coconut milk
  • 1 large egg (56g)
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil to grease the pan melted

Instructions

For visual step-by-step instructions, refer to the images in the post.

    Make the coconut filling:

    • Add hot water and palm sugar disc in a bowl and microwave for 30-50 seconds, until the palm sugar dissolves.
    • Let it cool and add in tapioca starch and sea salt. Give it a stir and set aside.
    • In a small saucepan over low heat, toast the dried coconut flakes, stirring until golden in colour
    • Add in the palm sugar slurry and cook over low heat until the coconut flakes turn into a dry paste.
    • Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Set aside.

    Make the pandan crepe batter:

    • Combine pandan leaf and water in a high-powered blender and blend until the there is green pandan juice.
    • Strain the pandan juice through a sieve and discard the pandan pulp (or make Pandan Cold Brew Coffee with it).
    • Measure out 166ml of pandan juice in a medium bowl.
    • Add 50ml coconut milk and 1 large egg to produce a total of 272ml of liquid. (If it doesn't total 272ml, add enough water until it does).
    • To the bowl, add in the all-purpose flour and whisk to combine.
    • Rest the crepe batter for 20 minutes.

    Cook the crepes:

    • Heat up a 7" frying pan over medium heat.
    • Grease the pan with coconut oil.
    • Use a ¼C (¼ measuring cup) to scoop the crepe batter and pour it into the pan (Step 7 below).
    • Quickly tilt the pan to coat the batter around the pan.
    • Cook over medium heat until the surface of the crepe is dry to the touch, about 2 minutes. Do not flip the crepe.
    • Remove the crepe with a spatula and let it cool on a wire rack or plate.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter.

    Assemble the crepes:

    • Place a crepe with the cooked side facing up (smooth surface facing down).
    • Add a portion of coconut filling towards the bottom 3rd.
    • Wrap the filling from the bottom up, tucking in both ends and roll into a cylinder.
    • Repeat with the remainder.
