Mama TSL Cooks: Kueh Dar Dar (Coconut Crepe)

Kueh Dar Dar, also known as Coconut Crepe, is a pandan flavoured crepe filled with Gula Melaka flavoured grated coconut filling. Not only does it has a sweet fragrance, but it is also sweet with every bite!


INGREDIENTS

Coconut Filling:
* 120g Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar)
* 1 tablespoon Sugar
* 50ml Water
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt
* 300g Grated Coconut (approximately half Coconut)
* 2 Pandan Leaves

Pandan Pancake Wrapper:
* 40g Pandan Leaves (approximately 10 Leaves)
* 100ml Thick Coconut Milk
* 300g Water
* 200g Plain Flour
* 1 Large Egg
* 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt


COOKING DIRECTIONS

To make the Gula Melaka Filling:

#1: Cut the Gula Melaka block into small pieces.

#2: Cut both Pandan Leaves, and crush them by twisting it.

#3: Over low heat, add the Gula Melaka, Sugar, Water, Pandan Leaves, and Salt into the saucepan. Stir until the Gula Melaka melts.

#4: Once the Gula Melaka melts, remove the Pandan Leaves, and sift the Gula Melaka mixture into a bowl.

#5: Fry the Grated Coconut and the Gula Melaka mixture together until the mixture is well-blended. 

And the GULA MELAKA FILLING is done!

To make the Pandan Pancake Wrapper:

#1: Blend 150ml of Water and 40g of Pandan Leaves together. Once blended consistently, sift the mixture for approximately 150ml of Pandan Juice.

#2: Stir the remaining 150ml of Water together with the 100ml of Thick Coconut Milk together. This will give you 250ml of Thin Santan.

#3: Mix the Pandan Juice (150ml), Thin Santan (250ml) Egg, Salt, and Cooking Oil together.

#4: Pour the mixture into the Flour and mix until well combined.

#5: Sieve the batter once it has been well combined. This is your Pandan Batter.

And the PANDAN BATTER for the pancake is done!

To make the Kueh Dar Dar (Coconut Crepe):

#1: Heat up a non-stick pan over low heat, and, depending on the pan size, pour in a ladle of Pandan Batter. Do not pour too much batter into the pan so that you do not end up having a thick crepe. Gauge accordingly.

#2: Swirl the batter around the pan to distribute it evenly.

#3: Cook until the batter firms up. If the crepe comes loose by shaking the pan, it is ready to be flipped over.

#4: Once the crepe has been cooked thoroughly on both sides, remove it from the pan and place it onto a plate.

#5: Put as much Gula Melaka filling as you want onto the crepe, roll it up and it is ready to be served!
