How to make a mouth watering and heavenly Ban Chien Kueh!  

Posted by DJLIM



In a post a while ago where I talk about my most favourite food in the world! It is called the Ban Chien Kueh also known as Apam Balik! (the name vary from region to region) and Yeah I know that I should be studying for the exams but I just can't resist posting the recipe for this great finger food! Here you are hope you enjoy it! Btw being in Austarlia I kinda miss going to the pasar malam every now and then to buy this! Sometimes I even go to the night market only for this!

Ingredients
(sift together)
# 200g self-raising flour
# ¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda

# ½ tsp salt
# 25g castor sugar
# 160ml water
# 160ml UHT milk
# 1 egg
# 40g butter or margarine, melted
# 1 1/8 tsp alkaline water (also knownas gan sui i think sorry my cantonese is damn rusty)

Filling
# ½ cup toasted peanuts, grind coarsely
# ½ cup coarse granulated sugar

Method
In a large mixing bowl, add salt and sugar to
the sifted ingredients. Beat in the egg, water
and milk and stir in the melted butter or margarine.

Whisk until mixture is smooth and well
combined, then stir in alkaline water. Mix
into a smooth batter. Set mixture aside for
50–60 minutes to rest. Cover with a clean tea
towel.

Heat a non-stick saucepan over a mediumlow
heat. Lightly grease the saucepan with a
little oil. Clean off any excess oil with a paper
towel. Then pour a ladleful of batter into the
heated pan. Swirl the pan so that the batter
forms a round. Sprinkle some toasted peanut
and sugar over it, then cover pan with a lid.
Cook until the centre of the pancake is cooked
through and the edges turn golden brown.
Remove and fold into half, then serve it and enjoy savouring every nutty flavour and joy it brings!

P.s. if you guys are like me I usually add some cream corn or sometimes chopped strawberries along to give it and extra kick into it! Hahahaha!
