Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, egg, yeast and water to mix. Beat the mixture well until it forms a smooth batter. Add alkaline water, mix, then cover and set aside for 40–50 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Pour in a ladleful of butter into the pan. Smooth out evenly with the back of the ladle. Cover pan with a lid and cook until bubbles appear.
Spread a handful of groundnuts and some sugar over surface. Next, add in a tablespoon of margarine and some cream-style sweet corn. Cover and cook until apom begins to harden. Remove and fold in half. Serve immediately.
