PEANUT PANCAKE

This is a Malaysia/Singapore version of pancake/crepe filled with peanut, sweet corn and sugar.It is available throughout the year from morning market or night market around the country. There are 2 types of pancake, the crispy and spongy  version.  Besides peanut, other popular filings are kaya, chocolate, red bean or sweet coconut.

The favorite dessert is prepared using yeast or baking powder and baking soda. But now I tried using active dry yeast. It turns out so soft and delicious. After fermented, the batter becomes very thick so you need to add extra water otherwise it was unable to spread. Once the bubbles appear, drizzle with butter, sprinkle with ground peanut and sugar, continue cooking until the bottom turns golden brown, fold in half.
