Gluten-free Brazilian crepes tapioca

Tapioca is a Brazilian gluten-free flatbread made from tapioca starch, sold at breakfast stalls across the country. It cooks dry on a hot pan, with no fat at all. The starch fuses with heat into a supple, foldable crepe in minutes. Here we fill it with cheese and ham, though it is just as good sweet with banana. One batch makes about six crepes.

Ingredients

6pancakes
Tapioca dough
Filling

Step by step process

Dough

  1. 1

    Sift the starch into a bowl first, since tapioca is made from a single ingredient. Gradually pour in water with a pinch of salt and stir. Keep stirring until the starch is moist and forms damp crumbs.

  2. 2

    Press the moist starch through a fine sieve. This removes lumps and gives a loose, even texture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat a non-stick pan. Spread an even layer of starch about 3 mm thick over it. Warm it briefly until the grains fuse into a solid crepe.

  2. 4

    Flip the crepe. Scatter grated cheese and ham over one half and let the cheese melt. Then fold it in half and finish cooking briefly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the crepe hot, ideally straight from the pan while the cheese is melted. It is also great sweet, with banana and coconut.

More tips:

Tapioca is also good sweet. Instead of cheese and ham, spread the crepe with condensed milk and sprinkle grated coconut.

If the grains will not come together, the pan is not hot enough. Do not add water, just raise the heat and be patient.
