Ingredients for crepe

(Enough to makes 30 crepes)

What I learned

The mixture when you start to incorporate is really hard to mix but keep going and don't give up. It will be OK.

For fun

If you like pandan flavoured crepes, add 1/2 to 1 tsp of pandan paste and your crepes will become bright green and super fragrant.

You can replace mango puree with any other flavour you want, chocolate, jam, cream cheese, kaya (malaysian jam). Basically, anything you want.
