Brilio.net - Pancakes in Indonesian are called pancakes. This food is made from wheat flour, eggs, sugar and fresh milk. All these ingredients are then mixed together, then baked on a pan.
Once cooked, the pancakes can be served with various toppings according to taste. Starting from cheese, chocolate spread, strawberry pieces, maple syrup, whipped cream, and much more. Apart from being delicious, pancakes can also be adjusted to suit nutritional needs. Easy to make and always satisfying, it's no wonder pancakes are a favorite of many people, especially for breakfast or family events.
Delicious and nice pancakes look fluffy and soft. So, to make it rise more, some people deliberately add baking soda to the pancake batter. Just like TikTok user @dilsyf_ did.
In one of his uploads, this netizen is seen making pancakes as his breakfast menu. Taking a look at a social media recipe, this netizen deliberately added baking soda to the pancake batter.

Because the pancake dough was ready, he immediately put the Teflon on the stove. After waiting a while, he added the butter as well as the pancake batter.
At first glance, there is nothing strange about the shape of the pancakes when they are first poured into the pan. But over time, the surface of the pancake, which should be smooth, actually becomes hollow. There are even more holes after cooking for a while.

After investigating, this turned out to be caused by too much extra baking soda being used. Instead of rising perfectly, the resulting pancakes actually resemble moonlight, aka sweet martabak.
Because it was a shame to just throw it away, he let the pancakes bake until they were perfectly cooked. Once cooked, these hollow pancakes are still served and eaten. Even though they look like that, the pancakes still taste delicious when eaten.

The small holes on the surface of these pancakes make some people look ordinary. But for those who have trypophobia, they will certainly be amused. Trypophobia is an intense fear or disgust of patterns of small holes or objects that have many holes or gaps.
"It's not profitable, it's just a martabak cake, but it's hollow like this," said the owner of the video, reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (10/7).
This video belonging to TikTok user @dilsyf_ immediately caught the attention of other TikTok residents. Some netizens even said that the shape of the pancakes produced was similar to a disease.
"Similar to trypopobhia," wrote the TikTok account @juragan.
"It's a picture of bone loss," said the TikTok account @blyxllxz.
It turns out that quite a few people admit that they failed when making their own pancakes at home.
"Last night, Bun used baking soda instead of baking powder. Turns out there's a difference between baking soda and baking powder. Last night too much baking soda burned quickly, it was bitter, it wasn't good to eat so I just gave up," wrote the TikTok account @Dewi.
"I just tried making pancakes on the 1st try and it didn't burn, but the 2nd time the dough just burned," replied the TikTok account @alytta.
