Lumpia Wrapper

Crepe for Fresh Lumpia

This Lumpia Wrapper Recipe, or more popularly known as Crepe is for Filipino Lumpia - whether the filling is mixed vegetables, Ubod or Heart of Palm, or Bamboo Shoot.

Crepes are very thin pancakes made from eggs, milk and butter, and can be for savory fillings(recipe with a pinch of salt) or for sweet desserts (recipe is with sugar added).

The batter is quite thin and it takes practice to make a nice round Crepe.

You have to be quick in swirling the Teflon or non-stick pan to evenly distribute the batter.

BENG'S TIPS

• Unlike pancakes, crepes are light in color and not golden brown, so do not overcook.


• No mixer or blender? No problem. Just beat the eggs well and mix the rest of the ingredients - then strain well before setting aside.


• No teflon or non-stick pan? Use a regular pan but make sure you heat and oil the pan well before putting the batter in.


• No time or not in the mood to make your crepes? The Spring roll wrappers available frozen in Asian markets are ready to eat as well. Yes, they're the same ones you use for the fried egg rolls...
