Instructions

Prepping appe batter mix

Tempering

Making Appe

  • Heat appe pan & add a few drops of oil to each cavity. Using a spoon or ladle, pour the batter to fill the cavities almost to the top (as shown in the video). Cover with a lid and cook on low for 1-2 minutes until the base is firm and golden.
  • Using a skewer or spatula, turn over each appe and cook the other side without covering the pan. Cook on low to medium for 2-3 minutes on this side till they are golden and crisp from the outside. Remove and serve.
  • Repeat the same steps to make the rest of the appe.

Notes

  1. Add oil to the appe cavity before making the appe as it avoids the appe sticking to the pan & also helps in roasting them well.
  2. Do not over fill the cavities as appe rise when cooked   
  3. Appe taste best when they are hot and fresh off the pan
