MFF KEDAH~PERLIS - APAM PERLIS (RESUBMIT)

Back to the originality.....

I have to resubmit the MFF Kedah~Perlis entry. Straight to the point, I need to cook the custard filling in order to remain the authentic of Apam Perlis for the submission. Well no harm, it is good to make this again and practice always makes perfect.

Let see what are the ingredients needed to make Apam Perlis (adapted from Wendy)

Batter:
150gm all purpose flour (I used 200gm)
250ml water (1 used +/-325ml)
1tsp Eno fruit salt (I used 11/2tsp)
Small drop of food colouring (I used pandan emulco and strawberry emulco)

Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients and colouring together until you get a smooth batter.
2. Let the batter rest for 15minutes.
Advice: Please refer to Wendy's method and every steps closely.

Custard Filling(same refer to Wendy's recipe) - Corn Custard
(Can always make one day ahead and refrigerated):

2 eggs
80gm sugar
Very small pinch of salt
20gm of custard powder
100gm water
100gm coconut milk (I used fresh milk)
*8tbsp of sweet corn cream

Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl until all well combined and no lumps.
2. Cook the mixture under medium heat.
3. Keep stirring the custard batter until it gets thicken.
4. Let it cool down before filling the pancakes.
Advice: Please refer to Wendy's method and every steps closely.

To pan fry the pancakes, I used butter to grease the frying pan. It smells even better.

This second round, I tried a new colour which is the pinkish strawberry pancakes. Nevertheless, the pandan flavoured always have the authentic taste. Calvin likes both flavours. According to Wendy, use a Chinese soup spoon to scoop the batter. So almost every of the Apam Perlis are the same size.

Once the mini pancakes are cooked, at once filled it with 1 tsp of creamy corn custard and seal the side immediately.

This is my strawberry pancakes version.

To join and take part in the MFF Kedah~Perlis entry. I'm submitting my second time of Apam Perlis to MFF Kedah~Perlis hosted by Wendy from Table for 2......Or More.

My son loves the corn custard a lot, it is creamy and nice to munch the sweet corn filling. Besides this, there were some filled in the Apam with coconut and brown sugar filling like HERE. I also found another version of Apam Perlis HERE.

I'm glad to make this for the second time indeed. Why? I am able to control the batter and have a smooth pancake surface compared to my first trial. The more you practice the better it will be. Enjoy and try to make this at home. Children and adults definitely enjoy this kuih Apam Perlis.
