[Malaysian Recipes] Kuih Ketayap - Sweet Coconut Crêpe

This is another re-visit: sweet coconut crêpe / kuih ketayap recipe...

Its easy to make / cook or bake Malaysian sweet/ dessert or finger food but to explain?
For the peanuts... I'll tell you my story some other time, just enough to say that my cooking experiment went awry :(.

Desiccated coconut! - you can do many wonders with desiccated coconut, either use it in cooking sweet dessert or finger food or uses it to enhance savoury and spicy food to the next level...

I made this sweet coconut crêpe, posted on my blog in late 2010.

It was in my early blogging years where the measurement is neither in grams nor lbs but it was in 'Approximation' or better known in Malay term~ 'agak-agak' ;P
