  • water150 ml
  • salt1 to taste
  • palm sugar (gula Melaka)90 g
  • sugar15 g
  • grated coconut120 g

Instructions

1

For the pandan liquid, chop 5 pandan leaves, blend them with 100 ml water for about 1 minute, then strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve and press out the juice.

2

Sift 120 g wheat flour, beat in the egg, gradually pour in 300 ml coconut milk, add salt and 45 ml pandan liquid; whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

3

For the filling, break 90 g palm sugar into pieces and place it in a saucepan with 15 g sugar, 1 pandan leaf, and 50 ml water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves, then remove the leaf and strain the syrup.

4

Return the syrup to the saucepan, add 120 g grated coconut and 1 tsp cornstarch. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling is moist and sticky but not runny; let it cool.

5

Heat a flat nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and lightly grease it with 15 ml vegetable oil. Pour in about 2 tbsp of batter, tilting and rotating the pan to form a thin crepe; cook for about 45 seconds, flip, and cook for another 30–45 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.

6

Place 2 tsp of the cooled coconut filling in the center of each crepe, fold the sides inward, and roll up tightly. Serve the kue dadar warm or at room temperature.
