How to Make Indonesian Sweet Martabak

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 large egg, and 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter.
  2. Gradually add 3/4 cup water (or more, as needed) to the batter, whisking until smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 3 hours. It will thicken.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Finely chop 1/2 cup roasted peanuts.
  5. Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once.
  6. Once cooked, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over the top of each pancake.
  7. Generously drizzle 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk over the buttered pancake.
  8. Sprinkle evenly with the chopped chocolate and peanuts.
  9. Fold the pancake in half, like a taco.
  10. Cut into strips and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
