Sri Lankan Coconut Crepes

Cultural Context

Originating from Sri Lanka, these crepes, known as Appam or Hoppers, are traditionally made for breakfast or special occasions. They are a delightful blend of crispy edges and soft centers, often enjoyed with sweet or savory toppings. In modern times, variations have emerged globally, with different fillings and toppings, making them a beloved dish far beyond their homeland.
