Ingredients
 

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • cups whole milk
  • 1⅓ cups all‑purpose flour plus more if needed for thicker crêpes
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water
  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and salt, then beat with a hand mixer until the sugar is dissolved. Next, pour in the milk, vanilla extract, boiling water, and oil, and keep mixing until everything is well combined. Finally, add the flour gradually; you can adjust the amount depending on whether you prefer thinner or thicker crêpes, so do not add all the flour at once. The crêpe batter is now ready.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; ideally, use a dedicated crêpe pan for the best results and even cooking.
  • Lightly grease the pan with a silicone brush dipped in a little oil or melted butter, then pour in one small ladle of batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter spreads evenly over the entire surface. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the crêpe and let it cook for about 10–15 seconds.
  • Flip the crêpe to the other side and cook for about the same amount of time, until lightly golden. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  • The Raffaello coconut crêpes are ready; you can serve them with any filling you like: jam, chocolate spread, cottage cheese, or cottage cheese mixed with shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Add flour gradually to control batter thickness — stop when it coats a spoon thinly.
  • Use medium heat only; high heat burns the coconut before the crepe cooks through.
  • Brush the pan lightly between crepes rather than pouring oil directly.
  • Boiling water in the batter helps create thin, delicate edges.
  • Sprinkle coconut onto the batter in the pan, not into the mixing bowl, for the toasted crust effect.
  • Store unfilled crepes layered with parchment paper in the fridge for up to 2 days.
