Mandarin Pancakes Recipes

Ingredients

2 cups flour
3/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Directions

1. Place flour in a bowl. Add boiling water, stirring with chopsticks or a
    fork until dough is evenly moistened. On a lightly floured board, knead
   dough until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30
   minutes.

2. On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a cylinder; cut into 16 equal
    pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly into a pancake.
    Brush top of each pancake with a light coating of sesame oil.

3. Place 1 pancake on top of a second pancake, oiled sides together. With a
    rolling pin, roll to make a circle 6 inches in diameter. Stack and roll
    remaining pairs of pancakes the same way. Cover with a damp cloth to
    prevent drying.

Cooking:

1. Place a nonstick frying pan over lm heat until hot. Add 1 pair of pancakes
    and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and bubbles appear on the
    surface, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and separate
    into 2 pancakes while still hot. Stack cooked pancakes on a plate while
    cooking remaining pairs of pancakes.

2. Serve pancakes hot. If making ahead, reheat pancakes in a microwave
    oven or wrap in a clean dish towel and steam in a bamboo steamer for
    5 minutes.Serve.
