Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Cardamom Crepes.
Step 1
Start by sifting together the all-purpose flour, one tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. This step ensures a light and airy crepe texture. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the flour blend, stirring gently until you achieve a silky batter. Let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare your cooking surface.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of vegetable oil, swirling it around to coat the pan. Once the oil is shimmering, scoop about a quarter cup of the batter and pour it into the center of the skillet. Tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook the crepe for about two minutes, or until the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula, flip it over, and cook for another two minutes on the other side. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the flaked coconut, one tablespoon of sugar, and ground cardamom. This fragrant mixture will be the star of your crepes! Take each crepe and spread one to two tablespoons of the coconut filling in the center. Fold the crepe over the filling like a love letter, or simply fold it in half. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
How to Serve
These crepes are best served warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Pair them with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful breakfast or dessert.
How to Store
Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet or microwave. The coconut filling can also be made ahead of time and stored separately.
