Apom Balik/ Malaysian Pancake
April 17, 2010
Apom Balik is a type of pancake... sprinkled with grounded peanuts, creamed sweetcorn and sugar... cooked on a griddle then folded in half. There are 2 types of Apom Balik ~ thick and 'meaty' or thin and crispy. I prefer the later...
Apom Balik used to be one of the must have's Sunday breakfast... when we were living in Kuala Lumpur.

This basic recipe is ransacked from my sister's collection of recipes ... We tried out this recipe at her place and it turned out good... So I recreate using the same recipe with the omission of banana essence as I prefer not to use it.... and voila..I managed to have a nice Apom Balik.. I still need practice to achieve that crispiness...Kids will be grinning from ear to ear if they read this... more Apom Balik ...yay :)
- 500g of plain flour
- 250 ml or 1 cup of sugar
- 750-800 ml water
- 1 tablespoon bicarbonate soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Creamed corn
- roasted peanuts - roughly grounded
- sugar
These pancakes look so nice...and such a nice idea to fill them with creamed corns and peanuts. Must taste heavenly with all these great ingredients together.

I really like your apam balik. They look so light and crispy. I tried looking for this mould when I went home the other day but can't find any. Hopefully I am able to find it the next time.
