Method

  1. 1

    Sieve the tapioca starch into a bowl and stir in a pinch of salt. It will feel slightly damp and form small crumbs.

  2. 2

    Heat a non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of starch, about 4 tablespoons, across the base.

  3. 3

    Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the grains fuse together into a pale pancake.

  4. 4

    Scatter coconut and banana over half of it, drizzle with a little agave and fold over.

  5. 5

    Slide onto a plate and repeat with the remaining starch. Eat warm.
