Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the coconut milk and water until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth, thin batter forms. It should have the consistency of thin cream. Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the crushed roasted peanuts and 3-4 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well. This will be sprinkled over the pancake during cooking.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Cook the pancake: Heat a non-stick frying pan or a crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the hot pan, swirling it to create a thin, even circle, similar to a crepe. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to look dry and slightly golden.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Add the filling: Sprinkle a generous amount of the peanut-sugar mixture over one half of the pancake. Spoon some creamed corn over the peanut mixture. Allow the filling to heat through for about 30 seconds.
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Fold and finish: Carefully fold the unfilled half of the pancake over the filling, creating a semi-circle. Press down gently with a spatula. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and crispy on both sides. You can flip it to ensure even cooking.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 6
Serve: Slide the cooked Apam Balik onto a plate. Let it cool slightly before cutting into wedges or serving whole. Enjoy immediately while warm and crispy.
