Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cassava starch with the salt, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring, until you have a smooth, supple batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour in a ladleful of batter and spread it into a thin round.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside releases and the surface turns translucent, then flip and cook for another minute.
- Meanwhile, mash the avocado flesh with a fork together with the lime juice and zest.
- Spread the avocado over half of the crêpe, sprinkle with sugar and fold it in half.
- Repeat until the batter is used up, then serve straight away, sprinkled with desiccated coconut or a drizzle of honey.
Variations and tips
Savoury version. Replace the sugar with salt and pepper, and add a few cherry tomatoes cut into dice.
Using what's easy to find. Cassava starch can be replaced with cornflour, using a little more milk to get the same suppleness.
