Step 1
Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; batter should be smooth but slightly thick.
Step 4
Heat apam balik pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until evenly warm.
Step 5
Pour 3 tbsp batter into the pan cavity (or skillet if using). Cook until edges look set and surface is light golden, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle chocolate, crushed peanuts, and corn kernels onto one half of the pancake.
Step 7
Flip the unfilled half over the filled half to enclose. Cook 30 seconds more until seams seal.
