Peanut pancake -Thick Apam Balik
Apam Balik one of the most traditional and enjoy pancake by Malaysian . It’s an Asian style pancake turnover with varieties of fillings inside.
Today I homemade my own Apam balik using simple most traditional filling like roasted peanuts, sugar and creamy sweet corn.
It's so easy to prepared in your home using varieties from nutella chocolate, bananas and even cheese and the choice is yours.
Ingredient A-Proofing my yeast
- 1 tbsp castor sugar
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 3 tbsp warm water ( or sufficient warm water to dissolve yeast and sugar solution )
Set aside est 15 minutes to proof or until double)
Ingredient B
- 170 g plain flour
- 80 g rice flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 20 g full cream powder (optional)
- 220 ml plain water
- 1 tsp double action baking powder
- Combine all ingredient A & B in a bowl until a smooth batter is form.
- Cover with a cling wrapped and leave to rest for 30 minutes or double. .
- 50 g Toasted chopped Peanut
- 25 g Toasted Sesame seed
- 20 g sugar
- Creamy sweet corn
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
You could add sliced banana, walnuts, nutella chocolate ,or anything other of your choice
I am using 24 cm non stick iron cast pan or you could either use 16 cm the choice is yours.
Ready to pan
- Spray oil to a non stick pan on low heat and wipe evenly with paper towel.
- When pan is heated evenly, give batter a stir before spreading.
- I scope 2 ladle into my pan and cover pan with lid. How many scope depends on the size of your preference and pan.
- Allow 2 minutes and notice pancake should have a nice fluffy honeycomb structure.
- Add the filling A = sugar follow by peanut , add sweet corn or banana and some unsalted butter according to own preference.
- Cover and cook for another 2-3 mins , remove lid check to ensure center batter are dried and cooked when sides are lightly brown ..then it's ready.
- Remove and fold into half using a spatula, cut and serve hot.
- Enjoy.
Tips to take note:
- The surface of the non stick pan must be smooth and not score with lines otherwise.. the surface of the pancake may not be smooth.
- How thick you would prefer your batter to be depend on your own choice.
- With this the timing during cooking may be different from mine .
- Oil that are grease from the pan should be evenly wipe off lightly to prevent patch surface.
- Best do not keep batter too long then necessary or even overnight this may cause over proof.
- Even if you do not cover the pan lid pancakes will still be ok to do without.
- You may skip proofing yeast and just combine everything in but I rather prefer pre-proofing as the way I am sure my yeast are active.
