Crispy Apam Balik (Malaysian Peanut Pancake Turnover)

Assalamualaikum and hi guys. How are you today? Are you ready to try a new menu? Alright guys, lets start! Today I want to share the popular food that commonly found in the streets of Malaysia and Singapore, the apam balik which is a sweet peanut pancake turnover stuffed with sugary, buttery peanut filling, with the optional cream corn. It is freshly made in rows of brass pans over fire and is then folded or ‘turned over’, thus the name. There are two versions to the apam balik – the thick and thin (or crispy) version. This recipe makes about 12 pieces of thin and crispy apam balik. Usually we only bought apam balik at the streets. Why not you try this menu at your home? You will fee more satisfied because you made by your own. Hopefully you'll enjoy this recipe :)
