Chinese Peanut Pancake / Man Jien Kuih

It's Saturday!!!!

Started my day at 615am with jogging at a nearby park. It was super dark and i got so scared that i would be 'kidnapped' by some hooligans...am i thinking too much?

So after the jog, i was soooooo eppi with my flatter stomach that i quickly went home and made myself a hearty breakfast. I vowed earlier that i would at least try to stay healthy for 1 month by ceasing junk food intake...and while i was having my tasteless bowl of oatmeal, i heard this..

Psst psst...over here!! over here!!

Guess what was 'calling' me? a bottle of coarsely chopped peanuts....yerrr! Why liddat 1??? I wanna stay healthy also kenot! Suddenly i was walking towards my recipe books cabinet...and suddenly i was pulling out a book....and the next second i found myself whipping up a batter!! Haha!!

Ok...here's what i've got:

Batter:

• 220g of plain flour
• 40g of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp soda bicarbonate
• 1/2 tsp yeast
• 1 cup of water

Filling:

Coarsely chopped peanuts + balanced amount of sugar

Method:

1. Combine all the batter ingredients in a mixing bowl using a whisk. Set aside the smooth and silky batter for 30 minutes.
2. Heat up a non stick pan. On low fire, pour the batter to the pan and spread evenly. Close the pan with a lid for about 40 seconds.
3. Toss a handful of fillings over the pancake. Fold the pancake into half moon shape. Cut and serve hot.

The man jien kuih is super delicious and super easy to make!! A definite keeper!!
