Penkek Pandan aka Malay Flapjack

somehow I believe I am an Ingredient Explorer for such reason. Why do I call myself that. I had a very good experience eating The V's pancake, or rather they called it American Flapjack. wah relly good!!! the texture, the taste and the maple syrup or even with ice-cream scoop, it is wonderfuliccious..!

i made my own flapjack with a twist in the recipe/ingredient. I pu tcake flour instead of normal wheatflour.. put in half a spoon of bicarbonate of soda. then, i put in 3 eggs - small size. pinch of salt. use milk to whisk them together till fluffy. i put in vanilla essence and green colour. the best is to pu in pandan essence, that will be better..

i put into a container and keep it in the fridge. i panned them in the morning..really fabulicious!

updated with photos! selamat mencuba.. p/s: by using Pemanggang Ajaib cap Ikan (menang glassware)

mmg mudah dan bentuk yg cantik!

sorry no photo, all the freshly panned flapjacks is gone! mebbe tomorrow as I still have half portion left in the fridge. Wait ya..!

Recipe from Desserts for Beginners by Peggy Wong

180 grams fresh mango puree

60 grams sugar

2 egg yolks

120 grams whipping cream

60 grams milk

1/2 tsp lemon juice

I added some mango pieces

* Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow .
* Heat milk in a pan until warm ; pour half of the hot milk into the egg yolks , whisking as you add to prevent curdling . Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir with wooden spoon until thickened . Set aside to cool .
* Mix lemon juice to mango puree and fold this to the egg mixture . Cool completely and put into the fridge to chill .
* Add the whipping cream to the cold egg mixture , mix until well combined and pour into the ice cream maker ; spin until thick and creamy . Transfer into ice cream container and layer some mango pieces and freeze until firm , about 4 hours or overnight

*** If you're not using an ice cream maker , use handheld mixer to beat the whipping cream until stiff and fold this to the cold mixture into two portions . Freeze mixture for an hour until half frozen ; then scrape the mixture and beat using a handheld mixer , in high-speed , until smooth but not melted . Repeat this 2-3 times to improve texture ; then freeze until firm .
