- Salt1/4 teaspoon

- Sweetened shredded coconut1/4 cup (for filling, optional)
Steps
- 1
In a bowl, combine tapioca starch and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until you have a moist, crumbly mixture that holds together when squeezed. It should not be wet or soupy.
- 2
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sieve the tapioca mixture directly into the hot skillet, forming a thin, round crepe. Use a sieve to ensure a smooth, even layer.
- 3
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to look dry and the crepe begins to hold together.
- 4
Flip the crepe and cook for another minute on the other side.
- 5
Sprinkle your desired filling (cheese, coconut) over one half of the crepe.
- 6
Fold the other half of the crepe over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Cook for another minute until the filling is heated through and melted.

Serve immediately.
