Love Letter Coconut Cardamom Crêpes

Love Letter Coconut Cardamom Crêpes wrap a whisper-thin pancake around gently sweetened coconut kissed with warm cardamom. The contrast of soft, lacy crêpes and lightly chewy coconut filling creates a fragrant bite that suits brunch, a special breakfast, or a graceful dessert. Serve warm with a dusting of sugar or a drizzle of melted butter for a cozy finish.

Love Letter Coconut Cardamom Crêpes
  1. 1

    Sift the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crepe until the bottom is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Loosen with a spatula, flip, and cook the other side for about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

  3. 3

    Combine the coconut, 1 tablespoon white sugar, and cardamom in a small bowl. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture in the center of each crepe; fold the crepe over the filling like an envelope or in half.
