Kue semprong, the Asian egg roll, the love letter, sapit, sepit, kue Belanda, or kapit[1] is an Indonesian traditional wafer snack (kue or kuih) made by clasping egg batter using an iron mold (Waffle iron) which is heated up on a charcoal stove. It is commonly found in Indonesia,[2] Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.
The mold has two plates that are clasped tightly together and attached to long handles for manipulating over a charcoal stove. The molds may be flat, corrugated, or etched with animal motifs such as fish, roosters, and snails that are both auspicious and decorative.
