This easy apam balik recipe takes just 30 minutes to make and features a crispy, golden crust filled with sweet corn and roasted peanuts. Known as a beloved Southeast Asian street food pancake, this version brings authentic, comforting flavors straight to your home kitchen. It is perfectly sweet, nutty, and wonderfully satisfying for dessert or brunch.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Whisk in the egg, warm water, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter until a smooth, pourable batter forms, then cover and rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, brush lightly with melted butter, and pour in half of the batter.
Quickly swirl the pan so the batter coats the lower sides to create a thin, crispy crust, then cover with a lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form.
Sprinkle half of the crushed peanuts, remaining sugar, and cream-style corn over one half of the pancake, then drizzle with melted butter.
Fold the pancake in half to form a semi-circle, slide it onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
