Ban Chean Kuih is most commonly filled with sugar, condensed milk, crushed peanuts, butter and condensed milk, though I think there are quite a few more exotic options available nowadays.

Ban Chean Kuih (Apam Balik)

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

Pancake Batter:
300g plain flour
1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1⁄2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg
1⁄2 tsp salt
60g sugar
1 TBSP cooking oil
1 1⁄2 Cups [375ml] water

Filling:
200-300g fried peanuts, ground
10 TBSP castor sugar
Canned creamed sweetcorn (2 tsp per pancake)
Margarine (1 tsp per pancake)

METHOD:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the batter ingredients together. Leave to rest for 30 minutes before using.
2. Heat a 19cm non-stick pan, then lightly grease with oil. Pour 1⁄2 a cup of batter onto the pan and spread
   using a spoon.
3. Cover with a lid until bubbles appear, then sprinkle 2 TBSP castor sugar around the pancake. Cover again to
   allow the sugar to dissolve.
4. Lift the lid and sprinkle over the ground peanuts. Add a dollop with creamed sweetcorn, followed by the
   margarine.
5. Fold the pancake over then gently slide onto a cutting board – slice into wedges.
6. Repeat the process until the batter is used up.Serve immediately.
