Ingredients

15
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for the batter)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, turmeric, salt, and sugar (if using).

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add coconut milk, water, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking to form a smooth batter.

  4. 4

    Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Whisk the batter again, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into a 3-nozzle squeeze bottle or your DIY tool.

  7. 7

    Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil using a folded paper towel.

  8. 8

    Working quickly, drizzle the batter in overlapping circular motions to create a lacy net pattern.

  9. 9

    Let it cook for about 1 minute, or until set and no wet batter remains. Do not flip.

  10. 10

    Gently lift the crepe out of the pan and transfer to a plate.

  11. 11

    Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

  12. 12

    Once slightly cooled, fold each crepe into triangles or roll them up.
