Ingredients (Makes 6 crepes)
- 1 cup of tapioca flour (hydrated tapioca starch)
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheese of your choice)
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Prepare the tapioca flour: Sift the tapioca flour through a fine sieve into a bowl to ensure it is lump-free.
- Season the flour: Add salt to the tapioca flour and mix well.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Spread the tapioca: Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the seasoned tapioca flour evenly over the skillet to form a thin layer. Spread it out with the back of a spoon if needed.
- Cook the crepe: Allow the crepe to cook for about 1-2 minutes until it binds together and becomes slightly crisp around the edges. Do not flip it.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over half of the crepe.
- Fold and melt: Fold the crepe in half over the cheese, forming a half-moon shape. Press gently with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve hot: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy your savory tapioca crepe while hot and crispy!
