Ingredients
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 30 g Sugar
- 150 ml Low-fat milk
- 100 ml Water
- 1 large Egg
- 100 g Unsalted peanuts, roasted and coarsely crushed
- 20 g Low-fat margarine
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 2
Add the sugar and salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, water, and the egg until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently whisking to form a smooth batter with no lumps.
Step 5
Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes, which will help it become light and fluffy.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of low-fat margarine using a paper towel.
Step 7
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the heated pan to make a thick pancake, about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
Step 8
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry out, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Spread a thin layer of low-fat margarine on one half of the pancake, sprinkle a generous amount of crushed peanuts over the margarine-covered side.
Step 10
Fold the pancake over to create a semi-circle, pressing gently to secure the filling.
Step 11
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 12
For serving, cut into wedges or smaller pieces and enjoy while warm.
