While doing my work, designing room layout for this Backpacker Hostel in Myanmar, I am craving for some sweet snacks. I browsing on the internet about some simple and easy to make sweet snack.
Since I missed Indonesian food and snack, I starting browsing on the internet about Indonesian sweet snack like, martabak manis or sweet martabak (ooh just writing this right now, my mouth instantly drooling again), panekuk or pancake and kue dadar or crepes. Sweet martabak is not easy to make I think (totally gonna try made this some other time). I don’t really like pancake.. Hmmm.. I remember, yesterday I bought 2 pack fresh strawberry from Coles, it’s discounted (YAAY!). After opening my fridge and find the ingredients, I decided to make crepes with strawberries – raisins caramel sauce.
Making crepes is really simple and easy to make. I don’t need the sophisticated kitchen appliances, just some large bowls to stirring flour dough, non-stick pan and my super speed manual mixer – my nippy hand. I’ve done this back in my home town, Jakarta. So, I guess it will be no problem.
I need about 20 minutes preparation and 10 minutes for cooking time. But it depends on your super speed manual mixer hand! Here are the recipes.
Ingredients :
CREPES
50 gram plain flour
25 gram corn flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
200 ml milk
2 egg yolk
1 egg white
1 tablespoon gram butter, melted
FILLING
4 tablespoon sugar
50 ml hot water
25 gram corn flour
150 gram strawberry, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoon raisins
2 tablespoon peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles for fillings
Cooking Direction :
FILLING
1. Boil water with strawberry pieces, stirring until strawberries crushed, set aside.
2. Cook sugar until caramelized. Add water little by little. Stir until well blended. Enter strawberry that has been cooked. Cook, stirring frequently until bubbling. Set aside.
3. Add some water to corn flour, stir well. Pour the corn flour liquid to the cooked strawberry. Stir until well blended and thickens. Turn off the heat.
CREPES
1. Mix plain flour, corn flour, and salt in large bowl. Stir well. Set aside.
2. Mix milk and eggs. Stir well. Pour a little into the flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Add melted margarine. Stir well.
3. Heat a non-stick pan to a medium heat. Pour the flour dough. Make a thin crepes. Do it until the dough runs out. Set aside.
4. Take one crepes. Add strawberry sauce, and raisins or peanut butter as you like, then fold it into 2 parts. Fold again into a triangle form.
5. Don’t forget to add some garnish from fresh strawberries.. 😀
