DURIAN CRISPY APAM's RECIPE

detailed information

Durian apam is a sweet Malaysian dessert consisting of a thin pancake filled with mashed or pureed durian flesh. The pancake batter, made with all-purpose flour, eggs, sugar, and coconut milk, is cooked on a griddle before being filled with the creamy durian mixture. The resulting dessert offers a delightful combination of the pancake's delicate texture and the rich, distinctive flavor of durian, making it a popular treat among durian enthusiasts in Southeast Asia.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup mashed or pureed durian flesh

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the coconut milk. Mix well.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking, until a smooth batter is formed.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin pancake.
6. Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to brown and bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Remove the cooked pancake from the pan and spread a spoonful of mashed or pureed durian flesh onto one half of the pancake. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and durian filling.
And that's it! Your delicious durian apam is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or snack, savoring the combination of the soft pancake and the creamy durian filling.
