Duck and pancakes?

Question

Hi,

I recently went to a chinease resturant and had duck with pancakes, the pancakes were not the normal sort, they were small and very fluffy in texture, light is also another word to descibe them.

Does anyone know what the name for them is and where I can find a recipe?

Thanks

Answer 1

Chinese pancakes

10 oz flour, plus extra for dusting
8 oz very hot water
2 tbsp sesame oil

Put the flour into a large bowl. Gradually stir in the hot water, mixing all the while with chopsticks or a fork until it is fully mixed. Add more water if the mixture seems dry. Turn the dough out and knead it with your hands for about 8 minutes or until it is smooth, dusting with flour if necessary, as it may be quite sticky at this point. Put the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp tea-towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it again for about 5 minutes, dusting with a little flour if it is sticky. Once the dough is smooth, form it into a roll about 18 inches long and 1inch thick. Cut the roll into 18 equal pieces and shape each one into a ball. Take 2 of the dough balls. Dip one side of one ball into the sesame oil and place the oiled side on top of the other ball. With a rolling pin, roll the 2 pancakes simultaneously into a circle about 6inches in diameter. You can flip the double pancake over and roll on the other side as well.

Heat a frying-pan or wok over a very low flame. Put the double pancake into the pan and cook it for 1-2 minutes, until it has dried underneath; there may be brown specks. Flip it over and cook the other side until dried as well.

Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly. When it is still warm, but cool enough to handle, peel the 2 pancakes apart and set them aside. Repeat this process until all the dough balls have been cooked.
