Method
Whisk the rice flour, tapioca starch, 20 g of the sugar, the salt and the coconut milk together in a bowl to make a smooth, thin batter.
Whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar in a separate bowl until thick and glossy to make the meringue topping.
Heat a small non-stick griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with the vegetable oil.
Spoon a thin layer of batter onto the hot griddle and spread it into a thin circle with the back of the spoon; cook for 3 minutes until the edges lift and crisp.
Spread a spoonful of the meringue over half of each crepe and scatter with the desiccated coconut.
Fold the crepes in half over the topping and lift onto a plate to cool briefly before serving.
