Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour and salt. Slowly whisk in water until you have a smooth, pourable batter with no lumps. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a non-stick crepe pan or 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the surface.

  3. Step 3

    Pour about 0.25 cup batter into the center and immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread into a thin, even circle. The crepe should be lacy and have some gaps.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. The top will remain moist.

  5. Step 5

    Add your chosen fillings to one half of the crepe while still in the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Fold the crepe in half or roll it, then transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
