The first time I was served these thin delicious pancakes was along with crispy duck, crispy vegetables and Hoisin sauce. I have previously bought these pancakes frozen from Asian stores, but it is always fun with homemade. So, I come up with ideas, and to see them flush it out, it's really fun. It's quite simple and they become absolutely perfect.
Step 1
Start by measuring the exact amount of flour. Use a weight. Pour the flour into a bowl and bring water to a boil. Measure out the right amount of boiling water and pour the salt into the hot water. Dilute with boiling water in the flour while mixing gently. Mix with a wooden spoon or chopsticks. Just mix lightly and cover with plastic wrap. Leave the dough for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until you get a smooth dough. Cover with the bowl and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a long round sausage and cut into slices of about 3 mm. There will be about 30 pancakes.
Step 4
Using a rolling pin, make all the small pancakes flat and about 6 cm in diameter. Stack them on top of each other under the bowl so they do not dry out.
Step 5
Find a neutral oil. Now you should stack 4-5 pancakes on top of each other, but you must be careful to brush the top of each small pancake with oil. This causes them to split apart afterwards. Use a rolling pin when you have stacked 4-5 pieces on top of each other and roll out to about 12 cm in diameter.
Step 6
Place on baking paper either in a steam basket or on a baking tray for a steam oven. Cover with baking paper on top as well. I steam 16-20 pancakes at a time. Steam for 15 minutes on full steam.
Step 7
You need to separate the pancakes while they are hot otherwise they will stick together. Divide the pancakes apart and stack again. Now the Pancakes are ready to serve. You can also put them in a plastic bag until serving so they do not dry out or freeze.
Step 8
I think these thin steamed pancakes go best with duck, hoisin sauce and finely shredded crispy vegetables. Good luck.
