Ban Chien Kueh(面煎糕)

It's one of the traditional and vanishing snacks that we have enjoyed since young. I'm thankful that the recipe is available at Kitchen Capers' forum. Do have a try if you like it.


Ingredients

Batter
330g plain flour (alternative: 230g plain flour and 100g rice flour)
3 eggs
70g caster sugar (already reduced)
1 tsp instant dry yeast
1 tsp baking soda
420ml water

Peanut Filling
300g toasted peanuts, finely grounded/chopped/blended
caster sugar/brown sugar for sprinkling
butter
(optional) can of sweet corn

Method

1. Mix all batter ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined. Let mixture rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat up a non-stick pan and rub with a little oil. Pour in enough batter (one ladle or more) to make the skin as thick as you like. Cook at medium low heat for about 1 minute or until cooked/nicely browned.

3. Sprinkle filling on top and fold it into half (half moon shape). Remove from pan and serve!
