Ban Jian Kway - Hokkien Peanut pancake

This is a economical breakfast favourite seldom made at home these days.  
I have friends who ate this so often that they grew tired of it!  Specially for so 
many of you out there who requested.

The photo looks better than those sold in the hawker center, isn't it!  it's my
first attempt, not bad huh! 

Ingredients:

225g self raising flour
1 egg
some sugar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoon butter
350ml water(I like it with milk, i'm sure the hawker didn't use it)

Filling:

freshly ground roasted peanuts without skin.
(just roast the peanuts in a wok, stir constantly without oil)
sugar
sesame (optional) - wash and dry roast sesame in wok till fragrant, 
lightly crushed to release the fragrance.


method:

beat egg, add butter, sugar, salt and water/milk.  

Add flour and mix to form a smooth batter.

leave for several hours.

Heat non stick pan, oiled lightly with butter if necessary, pour batter onto the pan,
cover and cook till done(a nice brown underneath) on slow/medium heat.

Remove from pan, throw some peanut/sesame and sugar over, fold into half, 
cut and serve immediately.
