Method

Prep the cheese

If you're making the savory version, thinly slice or grate the Queijo Coalho so it softens quickly and evenly inside the hot crepes.

Mix the starch

In a bowl, break up the Hydrated Tapioca Starch with your fingers, then mix in the Fine Salt until the texture looks light, fluffy, and evenly seasoned, with no hard clumps.

Heat the skillet

Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat and let it heat for 2 minutes, until a pinch of starch sizzles the moment it hits the surface. Keep the pan dry; the starch needs direct contact to form a tender crepe.

Cook the crepes

Divide the tapioca mixture into 4 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time, sprinkle it into the hot skillet in a thin, even layer and gently shake the pan so it forms a neat round. Cook for 1 minute until the surface looks set and the edges lift cleanly, then slide the crepe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining portions.

Fill and serve

Choose your filling for each hot crepe: spread a small pat of Unsalted Butter across the center for the classic version, or add the prepped cheese for the savory version. Fold the crepe in half or into a quarter and serve right away while it is still soft and warm.
