Apam Balik is a popular Malaysian street food, known for its crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior.

This delightful pancake turnover is filled with a sweet mixture of crushed peanuts, sugar, and corn, making it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

The origins of Apam Balik can be traced back to the Chinese community in Malaysia, where it was traditionally sold by street vendors during festivals and special occasions.

To make Apam Balik, start by preparing a simple batter from flour and water. Cook the batter on a hot griddle until bubbles form on the surface, then sprinkle the peanut, sugar, and corn filling evenly over one half of the pancake.

Fold the pancake over to enclose the filling and continue cooking until it turns golden brown and crispy.

For a personalized touch, you can experiment with different fillings such as adding chocolate chips, grated coconut, or even a drizzle of condensed milk.

In Malaysia, Apam Balik is typically enjoyed as a snack or dessert, often accompanied by a cup of hot tea or coffee.

While Apam Balik is a delicious treat, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high sugar content and the potential for added calories from the sweet fillings.
