How to make Coconut Beiju:

Separate the ingredients. This is an individual recipe and yields a small beiju - our frying pan is 15 cm in diameter. The coconut filling + condensed milk is to taste.

Starting with tapioca gum: we buy it at the open market here in the region. It already came wet enough to go straight into the pan (it needs to have that consistency of granulated, damp flour) but you can also find it ready-made in the markets.

Check which types of tapioca are on the market and how to use them.

Then spread the tapioca gum in your skillet, forming an even layer. Place over medium heat.

Tip: No need to grease the pan, tapioca gum doesn't stick.

If you, like us, want a fluffier beiju in the middle, add the filling as soon as it starts to brown on the sides and drop it from the pan. First the condensed milk.

And then the grated coconut.

Tip: In this coconut tapioca recipe you can use fresh or dry grated coconut, as you prefer.

When the dough is consistent, fold the beiju in half with the help of a spatula.

And serve right away, sprinkling some more grated coconut and strands of condensed milk!

Tip: If you want a more crunchy coconut beiju, then brown both sides and then add the filling.
