Crepes:

• ½ cup all purpose flour

Method

Make the Filling:

• Soak lentils for about one hour

• Slightly cool.  Add sugar, coconut and cardamom and mix well

Make the crepes:

• Add flour to the bowl and add salt, oil, milk and water and mix well
• The batter should be quite thin.  If it’s too thick, add 1 tablespoon water at a time
• Add a bit of butter to a 6 inch skillet and heat until sizzling
• Add a spoonful of batter to the skillet, tilting the pan back and forth to completely cover the base thinly
• Cook on both side until lightly browned
• Transfer to a plate and add a spoonful of mung bean mix in the middle and roll it out
