Apam Balik or Ban Chien Kuih (thin version)

Due to the many requests which I received from my blog readers, I am posting the recipe for the thin version of Ban Chien Kuih or Apam Balik/Apam Pulau Pinang.

Batter Ingredients (yields about 15 - 20 pcs):

100 g rice flour

50 g plain flour

15 g cornflour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

1/2 tsp salt

100 ml thick coconut milk

100 ml water

3 "M" size eggs

80 g sugar

Filling Ingredients:
350 g roasted peanuts, to be coarsely chopped
70 g sugar
30 g soft butter

Method:
Mix all filling ingredients in a bowl and leave aside.

In a small bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved.  Sift all dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl.  Add thick coconut milk and water.  Mix thoroughly until no lumps can be seen.  Then, add egg mixture and mix well.

Heat a small pan (non-stick) over medium heat.  Add a small soup laddle of batter to pan - just enough to cover the base of the pan.  Put on the lid and cook until the sides are crispy and brown in colour.

Remove lid and sprinkle peanuts filling.  Fold into half and remove from pan to a wire rack. Repeat procedure until the batter is used up.

Serve immediately!

Bon Appetit!
