Method
- 1
Peel and slice the plantain. Heat half the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the plantain for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden. Toss with the cinnamon and sugar.
- 2
Wipe out the pan. Sprinkle the tapioca flour evenly over the base in a thin layer, about the size of a dinner plate.
- 3
Cook over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until the starch melts together into a single crepe.
- 4
Spoon the cinnamon plantain over one half, fold the crepe over and press gently.
- 5
Repeat to make 4 crepes in total, using the remaining oil between batches. Serve warm.
