Ingredients
  

For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp pandan juice or 1 tsp pandan paste
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
For the Filling (Pandan Kaya Coconut):
  • 1 ½ cups grated coconut fresh or desiccated
  • ½ cup palm sugar grated
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pandan juice
Optional Garnish:
  • Toasted coconut
  • Extra palm sugar drizzle

Method
 

Make the Filling:
  1. Combine grated coconut, palm sugar, pandan juice, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Set aside to cool.
  4. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
  5. Whisk together flour, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and pandan juice in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
Cook the Crepes:
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with oil.
  2. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to make a thin crepe.
  3. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift, flip for 30 seconds, then remove.
Assemble the Dadar Gulung:
  1. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of pandan coconut filling onto one side of the crepe.
  2. Fold the sides and roll tightly.
  3. Repeat with remaining crepes.
Serve:
  1. Optional: sprinkle toasted coconut or drizzle a little palm sugar.
  2. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Fresh pandan juice gives the best flavor and color.
  • Don’t overfill the crepes; it makes rolling easier.
  • Best eaten the same day. Reheat gently before serving if refrigerated.
  • These crepes are versatile—you can add chocolate or nuts to the filling for variation.
