I learnt to make this kuih (or Pandan Crepes with coconut filling) way back when I am still in my Home Science class; well that is probably when I am 13 or 14 years of age. Wow, and now only I got to make it all over again. Again, my mum loves to make this kuih but hers, she go for the simple type of crepes but with palm sugar coconut filling too.

Recipe sourced from J's Kitchen
with adjustment
For the crepes:
120g plain flour
170ml thin coconut milk or water

Oil, to grease
Method
Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl.
Make a hole in the center. Add egg, coconut milk, and pandan water. Whisk until batter is no longer lumpy. Cover and
refrigerate for at least half hour.
Preheat a small nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Grease with butter. Pour
1/4 cup of batter. Swirl to cover base. Cook until crepe starts to pull away
from pan. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
To Serve:
Place a crepe on a plate and scoop a spoonful of the coconut filling and roll it up like the spring roll.
For the filling:
75g fresh grated coconut
75g palm sugar (or brown sugar if you can't get palm sugar)
75g fresh grated coconut
75g palm sugar (or brown sugar if you can't get palm sugar)
1 pandan leaf or 1 tsp pandan extract (optional)
50ml water
Heat palm sugar and coconut milk in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat until dissolved.
Add the rest of the ingredients. Press down the dessicated coconut so that it soaks up the sugar mixture. Cook until coconut mixture starts to dry up.

I think the best beverage to go with this kuih is "Kopi O'
YUM!
Traditional way is roll up the crepe like spring roll but I am
giving it a new facelift by folding it square. How's that?
Lazy to make? No problem; now that there's pasar Ramadhan around,
go and buy some to indulge first.
