How it's cooked (3 steps)
- Moisten tapioca flour with a little salted water until the grains are slightly damp but still loose.
- Spread evenly in a dry non-stick pan over medium heat; the grains will fuse into a white crepe without any oil.
- Once the edges lift and the bottom is set, add fillings to one half, fold, and serve immediately.
