Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gradually add water to tapioca starch, stirring with fingers until medium-to-small, dry clumps form; adjust consistency if needed.

  2. Sieve the moistened starch into a clean bowl, using a wooden spoon to assist passage, then stir in salt.

  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Quickly sprinkle a thin layer of sifted starch to cover the pan, evening it out with a spoon, and cook for 30 seconds until it slides easily.

  4. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30-40 seconds.

  5. Transfer the crepe to a plate. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining mixture.

  6. Fill the warm crepe as desired, then fold or roll it up, serving immediately before it stiffens.
