Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp white granulated sugar (or maple syrup)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plain oat milk if dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp pandan extract (liquid form)

For Cooking

  • 12 tsp coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients—egg, milk, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and pandan extract—while whisking gently until the batter is smooth and runny. Set aside to rest briefly.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it using 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil spread with a paper towel to ensure even coverage.
  3. Cook the Crepes: When the pan is hot, pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the center. Tilt and swirl the pan gently to spread the batter into a thin, even circular crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom side turns golden brown and edges start to lift.
  4. Flip and Finish Cooking: Using a spatula, carefully loosen the edges of the crepe and flip it to cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown as well.
  5. Serve: Remove the crepe from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy with your choice of maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a perfect sweet touch.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or crepe pan for best results to prevent sticking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with plain oat milk as indicated.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
  • Ensure the batter is runny to get thin crepes; add a splash more milk if too thick.
  • Pandan extract can be found in Asian grocery stores or online.
