Melaka Nyonya Apam Balik

 

Melaka Nyonya Gula Melaka Durian Apam Balik (Pancake Fold over)

I remember my childhood days in Melaka where every Sunday I used to buy a variety of Nyonya kueh from Bibik Ong. Bibik Ong operates from a mobile stall parked in front of Hilir Garden, coffee shop. Amongst the Nyonya Kueh, my favourite is Gula Melaka Apam Balik.

I decided to try it out with the following recipe by adding some rich creamy durian flesh. This will make my pancake moist, dense and have some pungent flavour when I taste it.

 

Ingredients

300 gm all purpose plain flour

1 ¼ tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

 

200 gm palm sugar (gula Melaka)

3 ½ tbsp brown sugar

50 ml of water

3 small pandan leaves

 

60 gm egg (beaten)

300 gm durian flesh (mashed)

 

350 ml coconut cream (Kara brand)

50 ml water

 

Apam Balik pan

 

Procedure

Sift flour, baking powder and salt (A)

Boil palm sugar, brown sugar with 50 ml water with pandan leaves until sugar dissolves. Let it cool. Sift it and set it aside. (B)

Cook durian flesh. Let it cool. Set it aside (C )

In a mixer, adjust to medium speed, mix (A) with beaten egg. Slowly add in ingredient (B) and finally ingredient (C ).

Mix all into a smooth batter with the coconut cream plus 50 ml water.
