Ban Chien Kuih with Peanut Filling

This batter is only suitable for home cooking because it cannot be kept too long and does not use alkaline water. It is a nice batter suitable for any fillings [peanut, tuna mayo, meat floss, sambal dried prawns etc].  Tinned corn kernels and chocolate chips can also be added. 

I used two types of fillings here [peanut and tuna mayo] because the pancake quantity can make about 15 medium size pieces.

70 gm caster sugar
