Serabi Daging (Mini Beef Pancake)

Here is an Indonesian recipe for savory pancake. In Indonesia we called these pancakes as “Serabi”, they can be sweet, they can be savory. For now, I am sharing the savory ones 🙂

I have only the small pan for this, so they are mini in size hahaha

My mother had a catering business growing up, and these pancakes were one of the foods she would sell at a known mall, which then called Hero Supermarket.

You can serve these pancakes as is or with cucumber pickle that the Indonesian called “Acar” or you can serve with your favorite sauce.

For batter:

1 egg
1 heaping tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 liter plus a little bit more to make it not too thick but also not too runny
