Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Okay. I think I can stop my search for the go-to brownie recipe. I've made this before at my sister's house, but somehow it didn't bake long enough and was too gooey to cut and I had to leave before I could see it set, but I made it again without the peanut butter chips and it is amazing! I added walnuts and chocolate chips for this. Me being last minute and all, this was done for teacher's day haha. I added a bit more flour this time round, so here's the recipe with the tweaks: (original from Sally's Baking Addiction ) 145g butter 1/4 tsp salt 250g caster sugar 75g Dutch processed cocoa powder 75g plain flour 2 eggs (normal ones) Melt the sugar, salt and butter together. Add in the cocoa powder and flour, and lastly the eggs when the batter is cooled down. Bake for 30 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes in an 8 inch square pan. The result is a decadent chocolaty gooey inside, with melted chocolate chips, and a crinkle top! Anddd now...
