Sweet Indonesian Stuffed Pancake

Martabak Manis

Ingredients

Batter: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup condensed milk, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of salt. Toppings: 1/2 cup butter (melted), 1/2 cup condensed milk, 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup crushed peanuts, 1/4 cup sesame seeds.

Detail Steps and Procedure

1. Make Batter: In bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, condensed milk, vanilla until frothy. In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Alternately add flour mixture and milk/water to egg mixture, mixing until smooth batter forms (lump-free). Rest batter 30 minutes.

2. Cook Pancake: Heat martabak pan or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 3/4 cup batter, swirl to cover bottom completely. Cook 2-3 minutes until surface is bubbly and holes form.

3. Create Texture: Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar evenly over surface. Cover pan, cook 1-2 minutes until surface appears dry and edges pull away from pan.

4. Remove and Top: Transfer pancake to cutting board. Immediately brush generously with melted butter, drizzle with condensed milk. Sprinkle desired toppings (chocolate, cheese, peanuts, sesame) over half the pancake.

5. Fold and Cut: Fold pancake in half over toppings. Press gently, cut into 4-6 pieces.

6. Serve: Serve warm. For extra richness, drizzle more condensed milk on top before serving.
