Apam Balik (Turnover Pancake)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 3 tbsp of sugar, and 1/4 tsp of salt until well combined.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg, 1 cup of water, and 2 tbsp of vegetable oil until smooth.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined; a few small lumps are okay.
4. 4Heat a 25.4 cm non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat, about 162.8°C (160°C). Lightly brush the pan with a little of the vegetable oil if needed.
5. 5Pour a large spoonful of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the heated pan and gently spread it outwards with the back of the spoon to form a circle about 15.24 cm in diameter.
6. 6Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles start to appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set.
7. 7Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of the creamed corn and 1 tbsp of the granulated sugar evenly over one half of the pancake.
8. 8Carefully fold the other half of the pancake over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and the filling is warm.
9. 9Slide the folded pancake onto a cutting board, cut it into wedges, and serve warm.
