Well, yesterday I tried this recipe for Terang Bulan because I have basically nothing to do. I tried the recipe from
here and it is quite fine. At first, it was not perfect but at last it was. I guess it's because the heat of the pan. By the way, I just use frying pan (teflon) because I don't have the special pan for martabak :)
500 gr self-raising flour
750 cc water
1 egg
50 gr sugar
1 table spoon salt
1 tea spoon baking soda
Topping:
chocolate meises
granulated peanut
cheese
sugar
condensed milk
etc (can be modified)
Process:
1. Mix all the ingredients except baking soda.
2. Stir it by using the whisk, until the dough is mixed and flour is dissolved. Leave it for 1 hour or more.
3. Heat the pan.
4. Put the baking soda to the dough, stir it until it is mixed.
5. Pour the dough to the pan (not all, it depends on how big is your pan and how much is the dough). With this recipe, it can be up to 3 times using 24cm diameter pan.
6. Cook until the top of the dough dry and porous.
7. Strew the sugar, cover the pan.
8. When it's cooked, lift it and smear it with the margarine, fill with the topping.
As I promise...
Here is another extremely delicious food in Solo, even in Indonesia. I know many people from other cities love it as well, as it is indeed popular. This is what I call 'Heaven on Earth' -> *lebaymodeon
The cake is called 'Terang Bulan' or for you who don't live in Java maybe you will know it as 'Martabak Manis'. I don't know how to make it. I'll figure it out soon because one of my friends can make it so I'll ask for the recipe and try it. Anyway, you can choose for the inside filling. Usually, I love to put chocolate, cheese and peanut but some people don't like cheese or peanut so they can put anything else. One of my friends also likes to put banana inside. I wonder what it'll taste because I know another type of food that contains banana and chocolate inside. Hmmm...
I don't think this cake is easy to be made because as I saw the process of baking and making it, it looks so easy but I know it's actually really hard. You have to get used to it before you can get the best result. Moreover, the pan is not common, it has to be special-made. But, many people said we can use 'Teflon' or normal pan for making it. So... let's see! If I have mood to try it then I'll try to make one. hehehe... Don't know when it will be! LOL!
You have to try it! This is one of the best food in the world.
