Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt.
~2 min - 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the coconut milk and saffron threads. Let the saffron steep for 5 minutes.
~7 min - 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. Let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes.
~25 min - 4
While the batter rests, prepare the mango filling. Peel and pit the mangoes, then place the flesh in a blender with 0.5 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
~5 min - 5
Prepare the rosewater syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 0.75 cup of sugar with 0.5 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rosewater. Let cool.
~12 min - 6
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter.
~1 min - 7
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift.
~2 min - 8
Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
~1 min - 9
Slide the crepe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. Stack the crepes on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

To serve, spread a layer of mango puree onto each crepe, fold into quarters, and drizzle generously with the rosewater syrup.

Tips
- For a thinner batter, add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut milk or water.
