Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 60 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 300 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Chocolate sprinkles
• 50 grams Crushed peanuts
• 100 grams Sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk.

Step 3

Add the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and baking soda to the batter and mix until fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the baking soda to activate.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick pan on medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

Step 6

Pour about half of the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set.

Step 7

Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles and crushed peanuts evenly on top of the cooked batter. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk as desired.

Step 8

Fold the martabak in half to sandwich the topping and press lightly to seal.

Step 9

Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Cut into pieces and serve warm.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining batter and toppings.
