The thin, crispy Indonesian crêpe often filled with banana or chocolate sprinkles is kue leker.
Kue leker is an Indonesian pancake or crêpe made from ingredients such as wheat flour, eggs, milk, and sugar. It is cooked into a thin, crisp layer and commonly folded in half before serving. Typical toppings and fillings include banana, condensed milk, cheese, sugar, and chocolate sprinkles.
The snack is associated especially with Solo, also known as Surakarta, in Central Java. Its name is believed to come from the Dutch word lekker, meaning “tasty,” reflecting Indonesia’s long history of Dutch colonial influence and culinary exchange.
Kue leker is easy to confuse with other Indonesian pancakes and sweets. Kue ape is a different street snack, dadar gulung is a green rolled rice-flour cake with coconut filling, and serabi is generally thicker and softer. The defining clues here are the crisp texture and the banana-or-chocolate combination.
