The following cake/dessert/sweet snack is not totally Indonesian though as we don’t use marshmallow in our goodies, but I just gotta share this following recipe because it is awesome with marshmallow! You can omit it, obviously 🙂

You may find it’s rather odd that the recipe is using grated cheese AND chocolate rice at the same time (plus marshmallow! hahaha), but us Indonesians do like mixing cheese and chocolate in our cakes and desserts, they really compliment each other especially for grilled sandwiches 😉

Serabi is the pan I am using to make these pancakes, and it’s the mini one, you can use regular size, or even just teflon.

In East Borneo, these cakes are called lemet pisang as we mashed the banana, and if you leave the bananas whole/halved, not smashed, we would call them pisang goreng – banana fritters. I named them Serabi Pisang, since I am using the pan to make them as dollar pancakes 😉

Ingredients

1 egg
milk as needed
1 1/4 cups wheat flour (or regular white all purpose)

1 tsp vanilla sugar
1/4 – 1/2 cup marshallow
1 1/2 – 2 tbsps vanilla extract
2 sachets of low calorie sweetener (or sugar)
2 ripe bananas, mashed
raisins, chocolate rice (this isn’t the same as chocolate sprinkles in Canadian market. Chocolate rice is made of milk, chocolate butter and usually its Dutch and/or Asian brand), grated cheese
