Martabak Brownies

For my birthday last year, my husband bought me a magic pan :). "It would be so useful", he said. The pan has upper and lower plate and it's a nonstick pan too. Martabak brownies was the first recipe I tried using this pan and it worked !

In Indonesia, martabak is very popular as an evening snack. There are two variation of martabak, sweet and savory. The sweet martabak, is Indonesian style thick pancake stuffed with chocolate, cheese, sweet condensed milk and chopped peanut. But now, the martabak sellers has offered you variety of toppings and you may also choose your own martabak topping, banana, black sticky rice, shredded coconut, corn, durian, sesame seeds, jack fruit, almond and fruit jams.

While the savory martabak is a crepe-like dish with egg filling. The filling is a mixture of eggs, onion, green onion, cooked minced beef and seasoning. The martabak's skin is made by spinning the pastry until it became very thin. If you have time to come to Indonesia, you should see how the martabak seller spins the pastry :-D

Martabak Brownies is a modification of sweet martabak. Chocolate was added to the batter and makes the chocolatey thick pancake.
