Apam Balik

Christie Lai
Apam Balik. A delicious Malaysian street food pancake filled with sweet creamed corn, peanuts, sugar and butter. Easy to make at home and indulgent! This is my dairy-free version of this cultural dessert but I also share how to make it with dairy. This recipe was adapted from the blog El Mundo Eats.

Ingredients
  

  • vegan butter or sub with normal butter for frying

Batter

Filling

  • white granulated sugar as much as desired
  • crushed peanuts as much as desired
  • 1 cup creamed corn canned
  • vegan butter or sub with normal butter

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, sift and whisk all-purpose flour, self rising flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Then in a small bowl, mix together warm oat milk, dry yeast, vanilla extract and sugar. Allow yeast to melt completely.
  • Pour the yeast milk into the dry ingredients and mix.
  • Crack an egg into the batter and whisk again. Do not overmix.
  • Cover the batter and allow it to rest for 30 minutes up to 1 hour if you have extra time.
  • In a 8 to 10-inch pan set over medium-low heat, lightly grease it with butter or oil using a paper towel.
  • Ladle your batter into the pan and smooth it out into a circle.
  • Then swirl the batter against the wall of the pan to create a "crust".
  • Cover the pan with a lid. Let this cook until bubbles form all over the pancake, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the bubbles have formed, sprinkle a generous amount of sugar, creamed corn, peanuts and as much better as desired.
  • Cover the pan back with a lid for 2 minutes.
  • Then in the pan, fold one side over to create a semi-circle pancake.
  • Slide onto a cutting board and slice in half with a sharp knife. Repeat this process for the remaining pancakes. Enjoy!
