About Me

My photo
I´m a foodie who lives to eat. A Singaporean living in the heart of Jakarta. My food blog started because I could never remember my recipes back when we travelled back and forth from here and Singapore...and I´m terrible at keeping folders! So this was my savior. I still rely on this blog to cook so just know that the recipes here are all tried and tested!

Firstly you need a blender.. Add the following item in your blender..

1/2 tsp baking powder 
1/4 tsp salt
250g flour
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Leave it for an hour to rise. Divide dough into 3 portions. Standby all the ingredients for fillings such as cream corn, condensed milk, chocolate rice, Nutella, nuts, grated cheese or whatever you prefer. You can also add flavours to the batter like pandan essence, cocoa powder or any other flavours.

Grease 6-7 inch pan with butter, pour one portion of the batter on low heat and cover . Martabak is cooked when the top part is not wet and has holes all over .

Transfer to a plate, spread topping, slice in halve and top with half of the Martabak. Spread melted butter over the stop and then cut into smaller portions  to serve.
