Apom balik

Last Sunday was not the usual Sunday we have because we were bringing the boys for Scrooge in the afternoon. At last...

I think i was more excited than the boys you know.. Grin.

And just so you know, Scrooge was very good. I was entertained silly! So did the boys.. but hor, the doink husband actually fell asleep!!!

Lol.

Terrible man.

So yeah, the Sunday was not the usual Sunday hence our normal routine wasn't being followed. Which means, i could make apom balik for hb to try finally... freshly made apom balik!

And mostly, can clear the peanuts liao *yay*! :P

The first piece i did was for the boys and helper. I wanted to do the Malaysian version as i like them better but unfortunately, the creamy corn that i bought didn't turn out as what i have been anticipated.

The creamy corn from Mili looked darn funny. Maybe because i haven't bought any before but i don't think it was supposed to look like what it did. So in the end, i picked a few corns here and there instead of spreading half the can like that the usual apom balik sellers back in M'sia do.

As for the remaining corn [roughly 98% left], it ended up in the rubbish bin.



The first piece i did didn't turn out nice, be it the taste or the browning of the skin.

It wasn't sweet enough.

The apom balik's skin wasn't browned evenly and i suspected it was because i used oil.



Hee.. i think it looks more like roti prata than peanut pancake yeah? Kekeke..

So, for hb's piece, i made some changes.

i - no more using oil before i pour the batter in
ii - more sugar was added to the peanut mixture
iii - definitely no corn as the few corns that i put in earlier didn't taste nice at all
iv - butter was spread on the apom balik before the peanut mixture is added in

And this is what i got :)



Nicely browned throughout!

I was pretty satisfied.



As for the taste, it turned out good!

Everything was nicely balanced out, the sweetness and the peanut mixture sans corn.

And oh, the texture was wonderful too! As you can see from the photo above, the texture was springy and chewy, not too hard, not too dry, not too soft but just nice .

Very very nice. I like very much.. :P



The fussy pot husband who initially went 'ugh' at the thought of eating my apom balik had to swallow back his own word after eating it. Heh.

In fact, hb likes it so much that he actually finished the whole 4 sub-pieces for the second piece that i made and the photo taking was done in a lighting speed because the husband was simply too impatient to eat again.

Real pig ah.. *kabish*

Tak boleh tahan! :P
