    2/3

    Pastry Sheets, frozen squares (comes in pac ages of 5)any Sausages, I use chic en or garlic sausages2 eggs, separated

    thaw and prepare the pastry sheets, spread some egg white on the edges. cut thesausages in halves and put their "bac s" on the pastry sheet. Put some (preferably) wet seeni sambol on the cut side of the sausage, roll the pastry sheet onceand glue the edge with eggwhite. Cut off overlapping pastry, it can ma e anotherroll.Cut the long roll in 3 in pieces, use a sharp nife that it loo s neat. If you use fresh sausages don't cut it in halves, it just gives a mess.Spread the egg yol on the top of the rolls and ba e them on 180 Celsius until golden brown.

    This is a very nice (but not traditional) party or afternoon tea snac . Try it with a tuna, egg or salmon filling! When you have the Seeni Sambol ready made, itis very easy to prepare.

    areful not to add too much water) Leave to ferment for 8 hours in warm place. (The batter does not rise but you will notice tiny bubbles when fermented) Do notleave more than 12 hours. Now add the sodium bicarbonate and salt to the batterand the mil in small quantities until you have batter the consistency of a panca e batter. Add more mil if necessary and mix well but not too vigorously. Grease the hopper pan lightly and heat the pan on a medium flame. Do not allow thepan to get overheated but you should feel the heat when you hold your palm abovethe pan. Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl in one quic turn until the pan iscoated and the balance batter runs into the middle. Cover the pan. Leave for 5- 7 minutes or until you have a golden edge. (Do not open the lid until the hopper is ready or the edges tend to collapse ) Carefully loosen the edge and the hopper will easily slide out. For an egg hopper, brea in an egg in to the hopperas soon as you have swirled the batter. Leave for five minutes longer on a lowerheat until egg is done and remove as earlier. Serve with seeni sambol or curryor even eat it plain with butter. This is the best hopper recipe I have ever tried because the hoppers turn out crisp and perfect. You will enjoy it. Bon apetite.
