Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar and tapioca flour.
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour, and pour in the eggs, vanilla extract and 1¼ cup (300 ml) water.
  3. Using the whisk, beat until smooth.
  4. Then using the K beater tool, continue mixing for about 8 minutes until the batter is smooth, sticky and slightly gooey.
  5. In a bowl, combine the baking powder, baking soda and 3 tablespoons of water. Add this mixture to the batter, and mix again for 1 minute.
  6. Cover with a cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 2 hours.
  7. Then divide the batter into 3 equal portions.
  8. Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan, around 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter over medium / high heat. Test the temperature of the pan by sprinkling a drop of water on the surface; if the water evaporates quickly, it means the pan is ready.
  9. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom of the pan with oil or melted butter.
  10. Carefully pour one portion of the batter into the hot pan, and tilt it so that the mixture covers at least half the height of the edges of the pan.
  11. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat until bubbles appear all over the surface.
  12. When the entire surface of the pancake is covered with bubbles and is half cooked, remove the lid and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of caster sugar.
  13. Put the lid back on the pan and cook over low heat.
  14. Once the martabak is cooked, transfer to a cutting board.

Fillings

  2. Fold the martabak in half to form a semi-circle, brush with melted butter, then cut into 5 equal pieces.
  3. Repeat with the other two portions of batter, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of caster sugar.
