I've a few pancake recipes in my blog. The main difference between this recipe and the rest is the use of natural yeast and commercial yeast in place of baking soda. Honestly, I don't quite like the after-taste of baking soda in the pancake. Hence, in this recipe, I abandoned baking soda and entrusted the leavening job to yeasts.
Besides yeasts, I also added superfine wholegrain flour to the recipe. This helps to fortified the pancake with a little dietary fibre as compare to plain one.
I was happy that the pancake yielded a crispy crust and a soft moist crumb. The multi-nuts filling complimented the pancake well.
Sink your teeth into the soft pancake, and enjoy the burst of nutty flavour in every bite 💕
You can try Japanese red bean paste filling, too. The steps can be found at the back of this recipe :)

* 天然酵母可由各25g的中筋面粉和水，再加上1/4小匙的即发干酵母所取代。

9. Give the batter a few stirrings to remove the bigger trapped air bubbles.
Seal back the cling wrap and continue to proof for another 30 minutes in room temperature.
25 to 30 minutes later
There are some fine air bubbles appeared throughout the batter.
10. Coat some oil and pre-heat the flat base non-stick pan for about 10 minutes at low temperature.
11. Pour in the batter, lift up and swirl the pan. The main purpose is to form an upright edge surrounding the pancake. This "skirting" will help to hold the filling better.
12. Shift the pan every 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even heating.
13. When the pancake is ready, the edge will pull away from the wall of the pan. Run a spatula round the edge to loosen the pancake from the pan.
14. Remove the pan from the heat, and spread the mixed nut filling over half of the pancake.
Fold the pancake into half and transfer to the cooling rack.
15. After the pancake has cooled down slightly, slice it with a knife.
16. Enjoy :)
If you are not eating the pancake immediately, wrap the pancakes individually with food wrap, to keep them moist :)
Japanese Red Bean Paste Pancake
1. Prepare the pancake as above.
2. Use store-bought Japanese red bean paste as filling. Spread the paste over half of the pancake, and fold the pancake into half.
I bought the red bean paste from Daiso at S$2 each.
3. Cool over a wire rack for about 5 minutes before cutting. Enjoy it warm :)
