Even this recipe could not beat with those selling by outside hawker, but it is not a bad choice if you like to try make it at home. The good thing if you make this at home, you can adjust the filling, I like to add more sweet corn and roasted peanut, but reduce the sugar.
Recipe was adapted from Jane's corner with minor changes.

I am hungry now after seeing the pictures
Yum yum...I like them with red bean paste!
my dear Sonia!nampak sungguh cantik dan pastinya sangat sedap.Saya pasti akan cuba resepi ni:)
I love with lots of peanut fillings, yummy.
Sonia, I love munching these everytime I visit any basah malam when I am in KL. Yeah, they usually add too much sugar. Yours still look very good. :) thanks for sharing this recipe.
Sonia, your ban jian kueh still look really good. Don't forget the charcoal stove they use at the store is something that is not available to us... So the difference could be due to that!
哗！你做的好美哦！看了都想吃咧！
哈哈,我也打算近期做这个~~
你的很漂亮喔^^
Thats a nice twist to pancakes..lov it,must try....
I like mine with peanut butter!
hi sonia, just wondering do you need to cover it during cooking just like how the hawkers did?
Oh my your pancakes are gorgeous! I definitely couldn't beat that! Yummy!
I love with full of peanut butter ;DD
Ellerinize, emeğinize sağlık. çok leziz ve iştah açıcı görünüyor.
Saygılarımla.
Wah childhood memories~~!! Very nice~!!
I tried to cook ban jian kueh before but mine a little burnt...he he he!
Hmm... the apams look so beautiful and neat. Thanks for the recipe, Sonia. Have a great weekend.

I love apam balik! It's one of my all-time faves, seriously! But growing up, I've been calling this local snack "jin loong bao" (煎弄包) in Cantonese. What drives me up the wall is that it has so many names, "dai gow min" lar ... Aiyo ... Headache ...
I love mine with lotsa corn, too, more like the Malay version. Both crispy and thick ones are good!
If I live in M'sia, I would just buy it. But living in the US, bor bian, have to make it if I crave for it. :P
I've tried 2 recipes,and still they are not what I am looking for.
Hard to find a recipe that can replicate the hawkers, if not how they cari makan woh!!
Hahaha.
yummy!! The pancakes look so perfect :)

I have never heard of this but it looks insanely good! I have to try it!!

wow These pancakes look heavenly! I want to make some too.
I love this kueh, still buy them from the market for breakfast. They were delicious with a cup of coffee!
I like to eat this very much, used to buy from the morning market. I especially love those with a lot of peanuts :)
wah, looks super professional man ... got me salivating :)~
Well that's a fascinating recipe, Sonia. Your pancakes are simple perfect. But the surprise was the filling! It sounds delicious!
Gosh, you can set up stall already, Sonia!
Hmmm, those look very good! Look a bit like dorayaki actually! I would love those filled with nutella :).
I like the crispy version but I like red bean filling which seems to match thicker pancake better?
I have never heard if these two fillings together. Your pancakes are making me hungry; YUM!
My husband loves this! Thanks for posting, I might try it out soon :)
I have been looking for this pancake recipe for long long time! Yours look really good, i will definitely give it try! Thanks for sharing.
Sonia..I normally buy this from the pasar malam :) Yours looks great...your kids surely love them..yummyumm :)
Great recipe! It sounds delicious!
Hi,Sonia, what a coincidence, i made these yesterday morning, for the first time, but yours look great, mine doesnt look as appetising as i tried the crispy version ,maybe i didnt leave the batter overnight.

I like the thin version!! your photos is really outstanding! have good lightning..wish I can have natural light/sunlight wholeday like in Msia..
Sonia, this looks really good! I am still waiting to see the post regarding our meeting :)
I am too lazy to write :)
Dear all, Thanks for stopping by and love your kind words, appreciate much!
Lena, yes, you can cover it during cooking, it will shorten the cooking time as well. For me, I tried both way, it work pretty good.
Sem, actually I did not leave it overnight too.
this is a true pasar malam delight! fantastic that you can make this at home!!
Wow you are quite the talented cook!!! home made apam balik!
Apom balik and ban chan kuih are 2 completely different things. The latter has no coconut whatsoever and the former is made only from rice flour. Get it straight.
