Mango Crepe & Roll Cake

I really enjoy eating crepes and roll cakes. The soft and chewy crepe wraps around sweet cream, offering an excellent texture! Plus, the recipe is simple to make, requiring no oven or whipping. A single frying pan can easily handle everything. This recipe makes about 7-8 crepes (20cm or 8 inches each).

Heat a frying pan on medium flame, reduce to low, pour a scoop of batter, and quickly tilt the pan to let the batter spread evenly. Cook over low heat until bubbles appear on the surface, then remove the crepe (gently lift an edge with a spatula and invert the pan to release it). Cool on a wire rack (stack layers with parchment or cling wrap in between and refrigerate).

Take four crepes, overlapping them consecutively (about 3cm apart), and layer them. Spread an appropriate amount of whipped cream on the overlapping edges, smoothing it out. Fold the crepes without cream towards the center, then roll from one end (adjust the shape while rolling). Secure and wrap with cling film to refrigerate. Sprinkle powdered sugar for decoration before serving, if desired.

Cooking Tips

1. Use low heat throughout when cooking crepes. You can keep a damp towel handy to cool the pan if it overheats. Overheated pans make it hard to spread the batter evenly, resulting in thick crepes. 2. For roll cakes, it’s recommended to use at least 4 crepes for layering. Fewer crepes can result in less defined layers. 3. A shaker cup was used this time to save time, and it produces smooth batter. If unavailable, you can mix ingredients in the sequence of eggs-milk-flour-butter until combined.
