Pancakes come from Europe, you didn't know. But, don't be mistaken, Indonesia also has pancakes, called serabi.

Serabi you know, That is a traditional village snack, made from rice flour and also coconut milk. Usually serabi is cooked, the dough is placed in a pan made of clay, baked using a stove. I have previously discussed that if food is cooked using a stove, it will definitely taste really delicious. And to give it a sweet taste, sprinkle it with brown sugar.

Well, if we talk about serabi and pancakes, here is a unique fact that I want to share with you. Take a look.

FACTS ABOUT SERABI
Do you know whether the authenticity of serabi as a typical Indonesian cake is actually still debated. According to culinary expert Junaidi Sunarwo, he said there are two possibilities for the origin of serabi. First from Aceh There, the food made from rice flour and coconut milk is called "Apam."

Oh yes, serabi has also gone up a class now. To make traditional snacks more popular with the public and to dispel the notion that these cakes are only for the lower classes, nowadays many sellers are creating unique pancakes. They add various kinds of toppings. Starting from cheese, sausage, eggs, chocolate, bananas, even rainbow colors. Let it be a rainbow pancake, haha.

Earlier I already gave you information about serabi. So now it's my turn to ask, do you know the difference between Serabi Solo Solo and Surabi Bandung?

In Solo, there are various kinds of surabi flavors. There is banana flavor, jackfruit flavor, chocolate flavor, and the original flavor. Maybe if it's a Bandung serabi, it's like there's some kind of gravy.

Secondly, it could also affect the Netherlands. Moreover, if we look at the snacks in West Sumatra which are called binekuk which means pancakes in Dutch.

Continuing to this, yes, there are some people who often call serabi serabi or surabi. Do you know or not, different names turn out to be different again, you know, where the serabi comes from. If you call it serabi, it's typical of Solo. Meanwhile, the mention of surabi is typical of Bandung. The presentation of both of them is also different. Solo serabi is usually served with crunchy and crunchy edges. The meat is not very thick, while the topping uses mises, grated coconut, and also cheese.

Meanwhile, for typical Bandung surabi, the meat is thicker, and the characteristic is precisely the topping. Namely using Javanese sugar, or also durian.

In fact, this traditional food, serabi, is very popular in Java. Javanese pancakes are delicious when they are burnt on the bottom, maybe because they are hot, yes, because they use a pan made of clay. There are some people who say it shouldn't be eaten, it's dangerous, it might even burn. But there are also people who just have fun with it, don't care about it.

Do you know the difference between rice flour and wheat flour?

More or less the same. Because rice flour and wheat flour are included in the group of food sources of carbohydrates. So they are both foods whose function is to provide a source of energy for our body. But the difference is the type of protein that it contains.

If wheat flour contains protein, it is gluten. Gluten is a type of protein which is rather difficult to digest by the bodies of Indonesians, because we have fewer pepsidae enzymes, and the possibility of allergies occurring is higher from wheat flour compared to rice flour.

What nutritional content is found in Serabi?

The basic ingredient is flour. It could be wheat flour, it could be rice flour. And both are carbohydrates and contain little vitamin B complex.

So serabi is a food that is rich in carbohydrates as a source of energy and contains vitamin B complex.

Already explained. It turns out that rice flour is better than wheat flour. Those who want to be healthy, please listen to the explanation above.

Thanks for reading, see you again.

Greetings always compact.
