Mandarin Pancakes Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | Sifted flour |
| 3/4 cup | 177ml | Boiling water |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Sesame oil - (to 2 tbspns) |
Place flour in a medium bowl, making a well in the center. Pour in the boiling water, and use a wooden spoon or chopsticks to mix until a soft dough is formed. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a log, 16 inches long. Cut the log crosswise into 1-inch pieces, shape each piece into a ball, then use your hands to flatten each ball into a pancake. Brush the tops of the pancakes lightly with the sesame oil. Then, place one pancake on top of a second pancake, oiled sides together, so that there are 8 pairs. With a rolling pin, flatten each pair into a 6 inch circle. (A tortilla press also works well for this.) Cover the pancakes with a damp towel to rest.
Heat an ungreased, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the pancakes, one at a time, turning them once as they puff and little bubbles appear on the surface, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side. As each pancake is finished, remove from pan and gently separate the halves into 2 pancakes while still hot. Stack cooked pancakes on a plate while cooking the remaining pancakes.
Serve pancakes while still warm with Mu Shu Pork (the recipe for "Mu Shu Pork With Mandarin Pancakes" is included in this collection) or with other dishes. Or, pancakes may be prepared up to 1 day in advance, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated. Pancakes may also be frozen. Reheat them by steaming for 5 minutes, or warming them in a 350 degree oven, wrapped in foil, for 10 minutes.
This recipe yields 16 pancakes.
