Penang Pancake
Ingredients
Required:
Sifted 175g self-raising flour
3/4 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda
25g of castor sugar
1/2 tablespoon of salt
2 small or medium eggs, lightly beaten
130 ml of low fat milk
130 ml of water
40g of butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon or alkaline water
1 cup of peanuts, toasted and grounded coarsely
Extra sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
Sift self-raising flour and bicarbonate of soda
into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt to
mix. Pour in the eggs, milk and water and melted
butter. Use a balloon whisk to beat the mixture
until it is well combined. Add in the alkaline
water and mix. Stand the mixture, covered, for an
hour.
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium low heat. Grease
the pan with a little oil.
Measure about half cup of batter and pour it into the
well-heated saucepan. Swirl the pan quickly around to
coat the entire pan with a thin layer of batter. Sprinkle
with some ground peanuts and half a handful of sugar.
Cover the pan with a lid, then cook the batter over low heat
for 1-2 minutes or until the centre of the batter looks cooked
through the edges have turned golden brown. Fold the
pancake into a half-moon and lift it out of the pan
immediately.
