Thin Pancake 薄饼

This is perhaps the most delicate of pancakes, often served with roast duck. It is not easy to evenly roll dough into very thin pieces. The trick is to double it up by bushing two pieces of dough each on one surface and then roll them together one on top of the other with the oiled surfaces facing each other. This dough is made with flour, salt and then hot water is mixed in. After it cooled a bit cold water is added. Kneed to form a good dough. The portion is about half-half hot to cold water.






Cook the double pancake in a dry medium hot pan until it lightly brown on one side and the flip it to finish the other side. Because they are oiled, the pancake are easily pulled apart. Here is put in some smoked chicken and scallion and fold to eat. Tasty.
