In a medium bowl, sieve together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the sugar and salt to the mix and whisk well to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Add the water to the batter and continue whisking until everything is well combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Pre-heat a non-stick skillet or a flat pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour and spread the batter evenly to form a thick pancake.
Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the pancake is cooked through. Do not flip.
Once the pancake is cooked, remove it from the heat.
While the pancake is still hot, spread a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk over the top.
Sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles and crushed peanuts evenly over the condensed milk.
Fold the pancake in half like a quesadilla, pressing gently to ensure the fillings are secured.
Slice the martabak into pieces and serve it warm.
