Apam Balik (Turnover Pancake)

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder, 2 tablespoons of Sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of Salt until well combined.
2. 2Gradually pour in the 1 cup of Water while whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. Whisk in the 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Oil until fully incorporated.
3. 3Heat a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, which is about 175°C. Lightly grease the pan with a tiny bit of vegetable oil if needed, but the batter has oil in it already.
4. 4Pour about half of the batter into the heated skillet, tilting the pan to spread it into a large, thin pancake shape. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
5. 5Quickly sprinkle half of the 1/2 cup of Creamed Corn, half of the 1/4 cup of Shredded Coconut, and half of the 1/4 cup of Sugar evenly over the surface of the pancake. Be careful not to touch the hot pan.
6. 6Using a spatula, carefully fold the pancake in half to enclose the filling. Press down gently with the spatula and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the outside is golden brown and crisp.
7. 7Slide the finished Apam Balik onto a plate. Repeat steps 4 through 7 with the remaining batter, creamed corn, shredded coconut, and sugar to make a second pancake.
8. 8Serve the Apam Balik immediately while it is warm and crisp.
