    Be very careful when using sharp knives.
  2. How to Make the Maruya Mix
    • In a small mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients, i.e., all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt. Mix them well.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg together with the evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Also, add the sesame seeds into the mixture. Beat them well.
    • Now, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
    • Using a whisk (if you don’t have one, use a fork instead), mix all the ingredients. Whisk them well.
    • Set aside.
    Having a busy schedule, there are times that you want to do everything quickly. A solution is to mix all the ingredients (except the banana and oil) to lower the preparation time and save you water and dishwashing soap on clean up time.
