Pandan Crepes With Coconut Filling (kueh Dadar)

Ingredients

  • 4 pandan leaves, chopped
  • 250ml coconut milk
  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 50g sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 50ml water
  • 100g grated coconut
  • 50g palm sugar, grated
  • 1 pandan leaf, knotted

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the chopped pandan leaves and coconut milk. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture to extract the pandan-infused coconut milk.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the pandan-infused coconut milk, all-purpose flour, eggs, sugar, salt, and water to make the crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the grated coconut, grated palm sugar, and knotted pandan leaf. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the filling is fragrant and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook the crepe until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook the other side for a few seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides in and roll it up into a neat parcel.
  6. Serve the pandan crepes with coconut filling (Kueh Dadar) warm or at room temperature.
