KUIH DADAR/KUIH KETAYAP/COCONUIT CREPE ROLLS

 

This is the kuih that I have always wanted to make, but because I can't find coconut anywhere in my place I can't make it. Finally, I found a place that sells coconut, and I immediately make these

most wanted to do kuih called "Kuih Ketayap" or "Kuih Dadar". These are called in Malay words.

It was learned that we must control the heat when making this kuih. Too cold will not leave holes, and too hot will burnt the crepe, so we must use moderate heat or adjust,adjust until we get it right.

Since this is my first try and I'm too excited to make it, my rolls are not done perfectly...and there will surely be a second time and so forth. Hopefully, by then I will improved my skill. Above all said, the crepe is nice.
