🇲🇾 Malaysia recipe

Apam Balik

Apam Balik is a beloved Malaysian street snack that comes in two versions: thin and crispy or thick and fluffy. This recipe covers the popular crispy version, where a thin batter is cooked on a round griddle and generously stuffed with a mixture of crushed roasted peanuts, sugar, and creamed corn before being folded in half. The contrast of the shatteringly crisp shell and the warm, nutty, sweet filling is irresistible.
