INTRODUCTION

I have a weak point for this type  Chinese pancake.. I love the yeasted flavour of the crust and the soft sweet fillings.

Chinese Sweet Potatoes Pancake (地瓜烧饼, 番薯饼)

I have recently just issued a recipe: Glutinous Rice Flour Red Bean Pancake (豆沙烧饼-糯米皮), but the crust is made with glutinous rice flour.

This crust lacks the yeasted flavour that I liked.. Therefore I have searched for another recipe that have a yeasted crust.. Since the last recipe is using the red bean paste, therefore for this recipe, i have decided to use homemade sweet potatoes paste..

Unlike the type of sweet potatoes pancake (番薯饼)sold in the market, this recipe uses glutinous rice flour to soften the filling. In addition, condensed milk were added to sweeten and smoothen the paste.

Note:

  • The pancake is rather big  with a diameter of about 8 cm. You can also divide the dough into filling into 15 or 20 pieces to make a smaller pancake. Smaller pancake are easier to pan fry and get cook.

  • If you do not wish to pan fry, you can bake in the oven at 180 degree Celsius for about 8 minutes one side. Put another baking tray on top of the pancake while baking to ensure flat top pan cake.

  • During the pan frying, if both sides (top and bottom) are cooked but the sides are still sticky, you will need to pan fry the side slightly.
