Crunchy Tapioca Netty Pancake

This Crunchy Tapioca Netty Pancake is made of tapioca flour and buckwheat flour mixed with coconut milk and water. Tapioca is a gluten-free starch from the cassava or yucca plant’s storage root. Tapioca is a rapid source of carbohydrates that is common in Brazil, South America, and Africa and is now a frequent diet staple in many tropical areas worldwide.

This manioc (tapioca) flour-based crepe or pancakes are popular street snacks in Brazil. They’re made to order and come with a range of sweet and savory fillings such as cheese, coconut, or chocolate. You can make them at home with this simple recipe.

Manioc starch is soaked with water overnight. The next day the water is thoroughly drained. There remains only a stiff paste that needs to be crushed and sifted through a fine sieve to form a snow-like powder. This quickly melts together when sprinkled over a heated skillet to produce a crepe. For this crunchy netty pancake, you need a unique conical dispenser or a squeezy bottle with an opening through which you can squeeze the batter to make patterns over a hot pan. As it cooks and stiffens, you can flip it with a spatula or try tossing one into the air from the skillet.
