Peanut Pan Cake

This is another local snack that I enjoy with a cup of tea...Peanut Pancake!

As this is my mother-in-law's favorite snack, I wanted to try making this recipe shared by my friend. The peanut cake does not have the crispy crust that you find from outside. I'm not sure if it's because it's cooked over an induction cooker instead of over fire, but I enjoyed the snack nevertheless.
