Description
The pancake's batter is made from the mixture of flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, coconut milk and water. The batter is cooked upon a thick round iron frying pan in plenty of palm margarine to avoid it stuck to the pan. Then other ingredients are sprinkled upon the pancake, such as sugar, peanut granules, chocolate sprinkles, sesame, or cheddar cheese. The content might be only one kind or combination of these fillings; the most common is peanut granules filling, but chocolate sprinkle combo and cheddar cheese are also available. The cake is also named terang bulan because of the big round pancake (prior of folding) resembles full moon. Then, the pancake is folded (hence the name is "turnover pancake") and cut into several pieces. The texture of Apam Balik is akin to a crispier form of crumpets.
