Ingredients

-  285 gr Flour+extra for dusting                     -  240-250 ml hot Water

-  2 tbsp Sesame oil, ½ tsp Salt

Directions

-   Put the flour & salt into a bowl; stir in 1½ tsp of sesame oil & hot water gradually. Use a wooden spoon/spatula to mix them until the water is fully incorporated. Knead the dough until smooth with no lumps (± 8 minutes). Cover the bowl with a damp towel; let it rest for 30-60 minutes.

-   Put the dough in a floured working surface & knead it for 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a long roll (45 cm X 2½ cm). Cut the roll into ± 2½ cm equal segments (will get 18 segments). Roll each one into a ball. Take 2 of the balls; dip only the bottom side of the 1^st ball into the sesame oil. Place the oiled side on top of the 2^nd ball. Press balls a bit & then roll them together into a ± 15 cm circle. Be very careful, not to seal the edges by rolling it to the very end. It`s important to roll double pancakes this way coz the dough will remain moist & U`ll be able to roll them thinner but avoid the risk of overcooking them later.

-   Heat a flat pan over a very low heat; put in the double pancake & cook it until it dried on one side. Flip it over & cook the other side. Remove from the pan; peel the double pancakes apart & set them aside. Repeat the procedure until all of the dough balls have been cooked.

-   Steam the pancakes to reheat them, or U can wrap them tightly in a double sheet of foil & put them into a pan consisting 2½ cm of boiling water.
-   Use the pancakes as a Roasted Peking Duck (recipe: click on the link) wrapper.
