Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tapioca flour
- 250 milliliters Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter
Instructions
Begin by preparing the tapioca flour. In a medium bowl, mix 200 grams of tapioca flour with 250 milliliters of water. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes to allow the tapioca flour to fully absorb the water. This will result in a slightly gelatinous texture, which is normal.
After resting, pass the mixture through a fine sieve or a piece of clean cheesecloth to remove excess water, leaving a crumbly and moist tapioca mixture.
Add a pinch of salt to the tapioca mixture and mix it lightly with your hands. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Once the pan is hot, add about 1/4 cup of the tapioca mixture, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula until it forms a thin circle, similar to a crepe.
Cook the crepe for 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges start to curl and the bottom is set.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another minute until both sides are cooked through and slightly golden.
Transfer the cooked tapioca crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining mixture to make additional crepes.
Fill the crepes with your choice of sweet fillings such as Nutella, sweetened condensed milk, or fresh fruits, or opt for savory fillings like cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables.
Fold the filled crepe in half or roll it up, and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
